| Abstract: | It is known that laser hardening increases the wear resistance of friction parts quite substantially. At the same time, many
problems connected with the effect of the treatment process and the special features of laser hardening on the characteristics
of wear resistance require detailed consideration. The present paper is devoted to the development of recommendations on choosing
the optimum location and proportion of the areas of the hardened and unhardened regions of the surface of structural steels
after their treatment with radiation of a continuous CO2 laser.
