ABSTRACT
Modifying surface layers through laser processing is one of the modern methods for improving the performance characteristics of metal-cutting tools made of high-speed tool steels. By applying this technology, the high energy impact of the laser beam can improve the roughness and hardness of the treated surface due to the temperature and structural changes that occur. The article presents the results of a study of the roughness and microhardness of laser-treated surfaces on test specimens made of high-speed tool steel 1.3343, in a state after conventional heat treatment—hardening and tempering—and mechanical processing—grinding.
