Abstract
The process of injecting wwar resisting particles into a laser melted surface has proven to be quite versatile, being applicable to a wide range of material combinations. The present study examines the microalloying of the metal surfaces using a pulsed Nd YAG laser. Alloying was achieved by injecting fine particles of titanium carbide into the shallow laser melted metal surface. A vacuum cell was used to prevent the effect of oxygen during the alloying process. Metals which were alloyed include En58 steel, titanium, nickel, aluminium and tantalum. A carbide volume fraction of 8-16% was achieved for the metals employed in the experiment.
