Аннотация:The paper presents the results of technology development for laser modification (hardening, alloying) of stamping tool surfaces in production of automobile parts. The techniques of laser treatment have been selected and developed, which make use of high-power industrial CO2 lasers MTL-2.5 and TL-5 with 2.0 to 5.0 kW power and the special-purpose five- coordinate manipulator of VISP-125A type. Metallographic studies of stamp samples have been conducted following laser hardening and alloying. The testing of the processed samples on test panel of the Metal Forming Institute gave positive results. The data obtained served as the basis for development of specific technologies for laser hardening and allowing of stamping tool for purposes of automobile industry.
