Abstract: | 1. | Alloying the alloy AL25 with the aid of laser radiation helps refine its structure and increase its hardness. | 2. | The distribution of alloying elements in the fused layer is uniform and does not depend on the amount of added elements. | 3. | A uniform layer with good physical and mechanical properties can be obtained by enriching the surface layer with alloying additions in amounts determined by the limit of their solubility in the matrix of the base metal. | Scientific and Production Association "NIITavoprom."
