Abstract

Numerical simulation of metal surface alloying with impulse laser radiation has been performed. Impulse intensity influence on melt hydrodynamics and alloying substance distribution has been evaluated. For substance material, the authors used data on iron including dependence of surface tension on melt temperature and admixture concentration.
