This research aimed to prepare iron-nickel alloys via powder technology, because this technology has its physical and commercial importance. Fe and Ni powders were blended into a mixture that was 63% Fe and 37% Ni and then compacted under 6 tons of isostatic cold pressure. Iron and nickel powders were used as tacking mixed together (63% of iron and 37% of nickel), and then compacted isostatic cold pressure at 6 tons. Laser surface treatment was done to samples with different energies (0, 200, 260, and 300 mJ) at a pulse time of 10 seconds and a distance of 100 cm. The x-ray diffraction test indicated that all samples had face-centered cubic, and according to the Debye-Scherrer equation. the 300 mJ sample had the best properties, including increased phase intensity and decreased grain size. The atomic force microsope showed that increasing laser energy also decreased grain size and increased surface softness and homogeneity. laser treatment results indicated an improved in structural properties with increased laser energy, Laser analysis revealed that melting all surface molecules improved structural properties. Specifically, the last treatment (300 mJ) acheaved the best structural properties of the alloy.

This research aimed to prepare (Fe-Ni) alloy by powder technology method for its technological and commercial importance. Iron and Nickel powders were tacking then their powders mixed and blended together with percent (63% Fe-37% Ni), then the powders compacted isostatic cold pressure at (6 ton). Laser surface treatment was done for the samples with different energies (0, 200, 260, 300) mJ and pulse time (10 sec) At a distance (100 cm). The X-ray diffractions test indicated that all samples have Face Center Cubic (F.C.C), and the samples at 300 mJ has best properties which include increase of phases intensity and decrease of grain size according to Debye-Scherrer equation. The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) also shows better properties with increase laser energy. Where increased soft-ness of surface, homogeneity surface and decrease in grain size with increase laser energy. The laser analysis resulted that melting all surface molecules which led to improvement in the structural properties.

Desired mechanical properties like microstructure, micro hardness and wear resistance are the key parameters for which low carbon steel (AISI 1006) are widely selected. Surface heat treatment applied to improve these properties; traditionally surface heat treatments like induction hardening, in recent time’s laser surface hardening. In this work, thermochemical treatment (liquid nitriding) by using mixture from 61% NaCN, 15% K2CO3 and 24% KCL and followed by Nd:YAG laser surface treatment was done . The laser parameter were energy (0.89, 2, 4 and 9) J, spot diameter (0.790 ,0.33, 0.283 and 0.224) mm, pulses duration (1, 2.33, 4.47 and 9.87) ms with  fix wavelength 1604nm. Laser surface treatment cycle was melting the layer surface, holding and rapid cooling in air medium.  Optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used to study the microstructures and cross-sectional of molted and heat affected zones respectively. The wear test was done to measure the wear rate by using pin -on-disk principles were satisfied. The result shown that increasing in laser energy effects to increase in the area of melted and heat affected zones of nitriding steel. Also increasing in laser energy led to increase micro hardness about 61%, while wear rate decrease about 40 % and increased depth of molted zone.

In this research, an alloy with a nanostructure was prepared using a metallurgical technique. To prepare an ideal alloy, three nanoscale powders were used (70 percent Ni, 25 percent Cu, and 5 percent V). The dried alloy was stored under 8 Tons of cold pressing at 80°C for 30 minutes. After that, a surface treatment of the prepared alloys with different laser energies (0, 200, 260, 300) mJ was carried out with a pulse time (10 seconds) at a distance of (100 cm). and hardness (Rockwell method) is studied. By immersing samples in a solution (3.5 percent NaCl) for different periods (3, 5, 7, 9, 11) days, the effect of laser surface treatment on the corrosion resistance of the alloy was investigated. Results show that porosity, water absorption ratio decreases after laser surface treatment with rising hardness values. Additionally, the wear resistance decreases as laser energy increases. Atomic force microscope images show that grain sizes increase as laser energy increases, and by increasing the laser energy, the surface of the nanoparticles is more homogeneous. Easy architecture and high nanostructure alloy consistency play a key role in improving the mechanical and physical properties.

The aim of our research was to comparatively examine Ni content surface layers on amorphisable Cu base alloy produced by different laser surface treatments. Laser surface treatment (LST) techniques, such as laser surface melting, laser alloying and laser cladding, provide a wide range of interesting solutions for the production of wear and corrosion resistant surfaces. [1,2] With LST techniques, the surface can be: i) coated with a layer of another material by laser cladding, ii) the composition of the matrix can be modified by laser alloying. [3] Two kinds of laser surface treatment technologies were used. In the case of coating-melting technology a Ni content surface layer was first developed by galvanization, and then the Ni content layer was melted together with the matrix. In the case of powder blowing technology Ni3Al powder was blown into the layer melted by laser beam and Argon gas. LST was performed using an impulse mode Nd:YAG laser. The laser power and the interaction time were 2 kW and 20÷60 ms. The characterization of the surface layer microstructure was performed by XRD, scanning electron microscopy and microhardness measurements.
