The purpose of this research paper is focused on the high speed steel surface layers improvement properties using HPDL laser. The paper present laser surface technologies, investigation of structure and properties of the high speed steel alloying with carbides using high power diode laser HPDL. Investigation indicate the influence of the alloying carbides on the structure and properties of the surface layer of investigated steel depending on the kind of alloying carbides and power implemented laser (HPDL). In the effect of laser alloying with powder of carbides occurs size reduction of microstructure as well as dispersion hardening through fused in but partially dissolved carbides and consolidation through enrichment of surface layer in alloying additions coming from dissolving carbides. Introduced particles of carbides and in part remain undissolved, creating conglomerates being a result of fusion of undissolved powder grains into molten metal base. The structural mechanism was determined of surface layers development, effect was studied of alloying parameters, gas protection method, and thickness of paste layer applied onto the steel surface on structure refinement and influence of these factors on the mechanical properties of surface layer, and especially on its hardness, abrasive wear resistance, and roughness. It has the important cognitive significance and gives grounds to the practical employment of these technologies for forming the surfaces of new tools and regeneration of the used ones.

The article investigates the changing in the structure and phase composition of the R6M5 high-speed steel surface layer after electrolytic-plasma nitriding. It is found that after electrolytic-plasma nitriding on the R6M5 steel surface, modified layer is formed, which consist from a diffusion layer. It was showed phase composition of difysion layer is changing depending on the nitriding. It is found that electrolytic-plasma nitriding lead to accelerated formation of the modified layer. It is determined that after electrolytic-plasma nitriding on the high-speed steel surface, modified layer is formed, consisting only of the diffusion layer.

In this work the influence of electrolytic-plasma nitriding on the abrasive wear-resistance of R6M5 high-speed steel were under research. We registered that after electrolytic-plasma nitriding on R6M5 steel surface modified layer is formed with 20-40 μm thickness and with increased microhardness of 9000-12200 MPa. Testing mode for the nitrided samples high-speed steel on abrasive wear developed. It is established, that electrolyte-plasma nitriding allows to increase wear-resistance of R6M5 steel surface layer comparing to original. It was determined that abrasive wear-resistance of R6M5 steel surface layer is increased to 25% as a result of electrolytic plasma nitriding. Thus, studies have demonstrated the feasibility and applicability of electrolytic-plasma nitriding in order to improve cutting tools work resource, working under friction and wear conditions.

Cobalt- superhard high speed steel layer has been formed on the surface of low alloy steel 20Cr2V by tungsten-molybdenum-cobalt plasma surface alloying and following plasma carbonizing. After plasma surface alloying, a homogeneous and dense surface alloying layer was formed, thickness of which is 200μm. Composition, microstructure and properties of the alloying layer were investigated. Contents of W, Mo, Co, Cr, V and C in the surface layer reach 8%,5%, 6% ,4%,1.5% and 1.5% or so respectively. The concentrations of alloy elements basically meet the requirements of high cobalt type superhard high speed steel. Constituent phases of the surface layer were martensite, M7C3 ,M2C and Cr3C2 carbides and μ phase after quenching treatment. The advanced gradient superhard high speed steel possesses not only high surface hardness, high anti-temper softening ability but also enough toughness.

In the article changes in the structure and mechanical properties of R6M5 steel surface layer after electrolytic-plasma nitriding are shown. The optimal mode of electrolytic-plasma nitriding of R6M5 high-speed steel in electrolyte based on carbamide, which allows saturation of the surface with nitrogen from low-temperature plasma and get the modified layer of high hardness and wear-resistance. It is established, that after electrolytic-plasma nitriding reduced R6M5 steel wear rate and increases its resistance to abrasive wear. Perspectivity of use an electrolytic-plasma nitriding method to improve performance cutting tools made from R6M5 steel is shown.

The goal of the work is fabrication coatings with the pressureless forming method or laser treatment retaining the relatively high ductility of the coated tool's core. The paper presents selection of the binder portion and type, and also of the metallic and carbides powders (WC) being the constituents of the polymer-powder slurry which was applied onto the prepared surfaces of the test pieces from the conventional HS6-5-2 high speed steel. This materials was compared with the same conventional HS6-5-2 high speed steel heat-treatable steel after laser treatment conditions and alloying additions contained in WC. Investigation indicate the influence of the alloying carbides on the structure and properties of the surface layer of investigated steel depending on manufacturing conditions and power implemented laser (HPDL). In the effect of laser alloying with powders of carbides occurs size reduction of microstructure as well as dispersion hardening through fused in but partially dissolved carbides and consolidation through enrichment of surface layer in alloying additions coming from dissolving carbides. The resistivity to thermal fatique of laser remelted steel is higher than steel after heat treatment. It shows the possibility of applying the worked out technology to manufacturing or regeneration of chosen hot working tools.

The influence of high-speed particle fluxes on changes in the structure and properties of materials has been widely studied currently. The effect exerted by particles moving at very high speeds can have both negative (in spacecrafts) and positive character (dynamic processing of tool steels). Therefore a task for studying an effect of high-speed particle flows on structure change in tool steels and improving their performance properties has been set in the paper. The study has used an explosive method for creation of a high-speed flow of SiC + Ni and Al2O3 particles. Samples after dynamic alloying have been subjected to diffusion nitriding. Microstructure of specimens made of X12M, R18, R6M5K5steel has been studied using optical and electron metallography. Wear resistance of the samples has been also tested on a friction machine. Theoretical and experimental results on a complex effect of high-speed microparticle flows and nitriding on a structure and properties of tool steels have been obtained during the research. It has been established that dynamic alloying by particles leads to formation of a specific structure in a composite material reinforced with channels. Central fiber (channel) zone with powder particles residues is surrounded by areas of amorphous state which is succeeded by a zone with a nanocrystalline fragmented cellular structure. Then we observe a zone with a microcrystalline structure that transits to a zone with crystalline structure which is characteristic for a matrix material of structural steel. The obtained data can expand and complement some ideas about mechanisms for dynamic loading of solids and condensed matter, plastic deformation, physical mechanics of structurally inhomogeneous media at different levels, a number of effects arising from collision and ultra-deep penetration of microparticles into metals. It has been shown that wear resistance of high-speed steel subjected to dynamic alloying in the quenched state is increased by 1.2 times in comparison with wear resistance of steel alloyed in the annealing state.
