The article examines the hardness of the coating made of PG-CP4 powder. Plasma powder deposition was performed to samples made of 40H13 steel and then the samples treated with a laser beam. A multi-factor model was established that relates the hardness of the protective coating to the radiation power W, the longitudinal feed Spr of the laser beam, and the distance L from the protective casing of the laser head to the treated surface. Depending on the laser treatment modes, coating was in a state of complete, partial reflow or its absence. Full reflow is characterized by the adhesion of the filler material to the substrate, by maximum hardness of HRC 51.2–56.6 and no defects. In the absence of reflow, gas sinks, transverse microcracks, detachments, and other defects were found in the coating material, and the hardness decreased to HB 125–212. An increase in W and a decrease in Spr lead to increases the hardness of the treated coating, which is explained by an increase in the specific heat flux supplied to the coating per unit time, and a high rate of heat removal deep into the surface layer of 40H13 steel. The thickness of the surface layer with increased hardness ranged from 0.1 to 1.5 mm. Based on the multi-factor model, laser processing modes are controlled to ensure the required values of the protective coating hardness. The research results are recommended for use in enterprises that implement laser technologies and develop modern laser systems.

The article considers the influence of the radiation power W, the longitudinal feed Spr of the laser beam and the distance L from the protective glass of the laser focusing head to the workpiece on the PG-CP4 powder coating absolute wear which was applied to HVG steel by plasma and subjected to laser treatment. A multi-factor model is established that relates the absolute wear of PG-CP4 coating to the input process factors and allows you to assign a laser treatment mode to provide the minimum wear of the processed surface layer. The greatest influence on coating absolute wear is provided by the longitudinal feed of laser beam, with which the wear increases. Compared to Spr, the influence of factor W on the coating absolute wear is 24% less, and the factor L influence is 4.4 times less. The minimum absolute wear of the coating occurs at W = 5 kW, Spr = 40 mm/s, L = 85 mm. The results of the research are recommended for use in enterprises that implement the processes of plasma and laser processing of materials, as well as in design organizations that develop modern technological laser systems.

This article deals with laser treatment of plasma spraying of PG-CP4 powder on steel 40H13. A multi-factor model is obtained that relates the friction coefficient of the coating to the radiation power W, the longitudinal feed of the laser beam Spr, and the distance L from the protective glass of the laser head to the sample’s surface. The model allows you to control the modes of laser processing, in order to reduce the friction coefficient of the coating. The greatest influence on the friction coefficient is exerted by the longitudinal feed Spr of the laser beam, followed by the radiation power W and the distance L. A multi-factor model of the friction coefficient of uncoated 40H13 steel treated under the same conditions as coated 40H13 steel is also established. Comparison of the two variants showed that of all the samples providing reliable adhesion of the coating to the substrate, the greatest reduction in the friction coefficient (by 30.2 %) was achieved at W = 5 kW, Spr = 25 mm/s and L = 85 mm. The results of the research are recommended for use in enterprises that implement the processes of plasma and laser processing of materials, as well as in design organizations that develop modern laser systems.

Abstract This paper discusses the wear of PG-CP4 powder coating deposited by plasma on 40H13 steel and treated by laser. A multi-factor model was established that relates the absolute wear of the PG-CP4 coating to independent factors of the laser processing process and allows you to reduce the coating wear. The longitudinal feed Spr of the laser beam and distance L from the protective glass of the laser head to the processed surface have the greatest and approximately equal influence on the absolute wear of the coating, and the radiation power W -a minimum influence. The research of 40H13 steel coated (the first option) and uncoated steel (the second option), showed that of all the samples that provide reliable adhesion of the coating to the substrate and the greatest reduction in absolute wear (from 80 to 22 micrometers, by 72.5 %) was achieved in the first case at the mode: W = 3 kW, Spr = 10 mm/s and L = 60 mm. The results of the research are recommended for use in enterprises that implement the processes of plasma and laser processing of materials, as well as in design organizations that develop modern technological laser systems.

The article considers the influence of the radiation power W, the longitudinal feed Spr of the laser beam and the distance L from the protective glass of the laser focusing head to the workpiece on the PG-CP4 coating hardness which was applied to H12M steel by plasma and then subjected to laser treatment. A multi-factor model is established that relates the PG-CP4 coating hardness to the input process factors and allows you to quickly assign a laser treatment mode and to control it in order to improve the quality of the processed surface layer. Increasing W, Spr and L leads to a increase in the HV parameter. The longitudinal feed Spr of the laser beam has the greatest effect on the surface layer hardness, then followed the distance L and radiation power W. The research results are relevant for manufacturing enterprises that implement laser processing processes of materials and design organizations that develop modern laser equipment.

The main problem occurring during the laser hardening of tools is the lack of continuity and diversity of surface layer properties as a result of the use of many parallel hardening paths. As a consequence, there may be a forgiven or under-hardened area between successive paths. The paper presents the original method of laser hardening of tools, especially bending, using a laser beam splitter. Such a hardening method enables simultaneous heating and tempering of the tool corner and the surfaces adjoining it at the desired width in one pass with the same parameters. As a consequence, the hardened layer is uniform on the surface of the corner and adjacent surfaces, i.e. without forgiven or unhardened areas. The use of this method requires equipping the hardening laser head with a divider, whose task is to distribute the laser beam to separate parts of the beam with adjustable width by means of appropriately placed mirrors. The new method of hardening not only eliminates the problem of so-called hardening marks created as a result of laser hardening, which directly affects the quality, durability and durability of the tool, but is also much more efficient and also beneficial for economic reasons.

The article considers the influence of the radiation power W, the longitudinal feed Spr of the laser beam and the distance L from the protective glass of the laser focusing head to the workpiece on the hardness Hv of the titanium alloy TiTaN. A multi-factor model is established that relates the surface layer hardness to the input factors of laser processing and allows you to quickly assign a laser treatment mode and to control it in order to improve the quality of the processed layer. The power W has the greatest effect on the hardness of the surface layer. With increasing W, the hardness increases. Increasing the feed Spr leads to a decrease in the Hv parameter. The effect of the distance L is similar to the radiation power, but the degree of influence of L is more than half as small as W. The developed method of operational assignment of the laser processing mode allows to reduce the auxiliary time for performing the technological operation. The research results are relevant for manufacturing enterprises that implement laser processing processes, as well as for design organizations that develop modern laser equipment.

Laser biostimulation involves applying a laser beam to the tissue to facilitate healing and regenerative processes. Laser therapy is one of the most important physical methods used in human physiotherapy. In veterinary medicine, laser therapy is a new and so far poorly examined method. The results of studies conducted so far are very promising, yet the positive effect of laser light, especially that of class IV, has yet to be confirmed. This article presents an overview of the available literature on the effect of laser treatment on the human and animal organism.

The article discusses the prospects of using combined thermal deformation surface processing to improve the performance properties of metal products. There is a new method of thermal deformation surface hardening (shot peening (SP) followed by laser heat treatment (LHT)) for tools and crown housings operating under difficult conditions proposed. For carrying out experimental studies, flat samples of 30KhGSA steel and steel 45 were selected. Preliminary hardening and finishing with static or dynamic methods of surface plastic deformation were carried out on a modernized installation based on a DYNAMITE 2800 numerical control machine, and SP was implemented on industrial equipment. Laser surface hardening of the samples was carried out in single passes with a sample moving speed of 300...500 mm/min with a laser beam diameter of 7.3 mm and a laser power of 1 kW using the ROFIN-SINAR DY 044 technological unit. The optimal regimes of surface hardening are determined under the deformation action of a gas-dynamic flow with solid particles and thermal action by a laser beam to obtain maximum values ​​of hardening depth and hardness. In particular, with SP, the gas-feed stream feed pressure is 0.5 MPa, the processing time is 1 min, regardless of the type of material. The optimal laser beam power is 1 kW at a sample travel speed of 300 mm/min. There are the results of experimental studies of the change in the hardening depth as a function of time and pressure after SP, the speed of movement of the treated sample from carbon steel 45 and medium alloyed steel 30KhGSA after LHT and combined SP+LHT, and also the distribution of microhardness over the depth of the hardened layer presented. It is revealed that the combined SP+LHT of 30 KhGSA steel at optimal modes forms 1.5 times (1.3 mm) greater depth of the strengthened surface layer in comparison with LHT, while providing the surface layer hardness of ~5400 MPa.
