The paper introduces the laser surface hardening processing with 5 KW CNC CO2 laser for Cam Shaft made of 45 steel. The results show that spiral scanning matching with adaptable technological parameters and water cooling achieve remarkable hardenability with less deformation, which satisfy the requirements demanded by manufacturer, simplify the manufacturing technology. The advantage of laser surface hardening is very remarkable.
Annealed high speed steels for making tools such as W6Mo5Cr4V2, W9Mo3Cr4V1, W18Cr4V were treated with 5 kw continuous adjusting CO2 laser. By controlling laser- processing parameters, we achieved variable datum about the depth and hardness of the surface hardening layer of the samples. The relationship between the depth of hardening layer and laser processing parameters were studied with microhardness meter, scanning electronic microscope. The results showed that the sample's micro organization was markedly fined, dislocation and twin crystal subconstruction was strikingly increased, its hardness was obviously higher than that of general heat treatment.
