The main aim of this study is structural changes on the layer of Al-Si cast alloy by laser austenitic stainless steel 17 246 deposition. In order to remelt the Al-Si alloy surface the laser of 1, 9 kW has been used for facing area, and 1.6 kW for the edge. The linear laser scan rate of the beam was set 450 mm.min-1 for facing area, and for the edge 550 mm.min-1. We observed that the thin surface made of austenitic stainless steel had a lot of splits. The purpose of this study is also to enhance inherent properties of the surface materials to create new product or improve on existing one.

Keywords: laser stainless steel deposition, austenitic stainless steel 17 246, Al-Si cast alloy, microstructure of layer, fusion, splits
