Abstract :The paper presents the effect of alloying with tungsten carbide on properties of the X40CrMoV5-1 steel surface layer, using the high power diode laser insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HPDL);. Selection of laser operating conditions is discussed, as well as alloying material, and their influence on structure and chemical composition of the steel. Analysis of the process conditions influence on thicknesses of the alloyed layer and heat-affected zone is presented.
