Abstract
The present research shows the possibility of using an ytterbium nanosecond pulsed fiber laser for wear resistance improvement of carbon and alloy steels. The wear test was performed in accordance with the block-on-ring scheme with dry sliding friction on a friction machine. Surface dispersing/alloying was carried out from a boron carbide paste. This leads to a significant wear resistance improvement of steels. It was revealed that the mass loss during wear test reduced by several times after laser treatment compared to the non-treated samples. The wear mechanism differs depending on the type of steel and largely refers to their microstructure and composition. The tribo-oxide layer forms during the wear test.
