Abstract
To improve the surface performance,a 2.5kW CO2 CW laser has been used to modify the surface microstructure of low carbon steel.The surface microstruc-ture depends upon the processing parameters. By using a scanning microscope to observe the surface wear behaviour,it is found that laser radiation and rapid solidification can greatly improve the surface microstructure and increase surface hardness and anti-abrasion.
