Abstract: The effect of nanosecond laser modification on X165CrMoV12 tool steel before and after heat treatment was investigated. Three laser texturing modes were applied to the studied material, with the variables being the frequency used and the pulse energy: 50 kHz/pulse energy 0.9 mJ, 100 kHz/pulse energy 0.45 mJ, and 150 kHz/pulse energy 0.3 mJ. The other parameters of laser texturing were power—90%; speed—500 mm/s; hatching angle—0° (horizontal), +60°/−60° (or equivalent 120°), and +30°/−30° (or equivalent 150°); and Hatching Distance—0.02 mm. The surface laser modification process aims to obtain a homogeneous and adaptive surface relief optimizing the operational properties of the working surfaces of the parts under dry contact friction conditions. The influence of the used laser modification modes on the roughness class of the obtained surfaces, the structure of the formed modified surface and the friction coefficient was studied. The comparative analysis showed that the lowest roughness class (Ra—4.123 µm) was obtained when using an operating frequency of 50 kHz. The obtained friction coefficient values were lowest in the following sequence of processes: laser texturing and subsequent thermal treatment. The lowest friction coefficient (µ = 0.0041) was registered in the test bodies processed with a mode in which the operating frequency was 50 kHz and the pulse energy was 0.9 mJ, after which they were subjected to thermal treatment according to the used cycle. In this processing sequence, no diffusion-related defects (decarburization) were observed on the surface layer of the tested steel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
