This study investigates the wear resistance of an Fe–12Mn–5Cr–1Ni-0.4 C (high-
manganese steel) produced by direct energy deposition (DED) and spheroidal graphite cast …

Due to the presence of spheroidal graphite in ductile iron, the mechanical properties of
welding joints between ductile iron and mild steel are poor. Therefore, a welding method …

In this study, the wear behavior of ferritic (GJS 400) and pearlitic (GJS 700) ductile cast iron
(DCI) specimens after laser surface hardening were investigated comparatively. In general …

Laser surface quenching (LSQ) is gaining popularity in engineering applications, but it
generates non-negligible carbon emissions. However, existing research mostly focuses on …

The subject of the research is the possibility of using laser surface hardening to modify the
tribological properties of ADI castings. ADI cast irons are a very progressive material; these …

Today, laser processing is becoming more and more relevant due to its fast adaptation to the
most critical technological tasks, its ability to provide processing in the most rarefied and …

Laser surface treatment (LST) is essential for advanced manufacturing but is extremely
energy intensive. Being energy-aware is imperative as the industry pays increasing attention …

This study introduces a novel material processing methodology termed High Repetition
Frequency Selective Laser Quenching (HRF-SLQ). This technique utilizes high-power lasers …

Grey cast iron is employed under chemically and physically harsh conditions. Laser
