Abstrakt: Methods of increasing the service properties of steel components by producing hardened modified layers on the surface using laser heating are described. It is proposed to use a combined technology based on laser alloying the steel surface with nitride-forming elements and nitriding. It is shown that laser alloying in the continuous mode results in the formation of a layer with a uniform fine-grained structure with a thickness of 600 μm in the surface layer. Subsequent nitriding eliminates the unfavourable residual stresses and increases the microhardness of low-carbon steels to 20,000 MPa, cracking resistance 1.5–1.8 times and wear resistance 1.5–3 times.
