A white cast iron layer was produced to depths of up to 500 microns. The microstructure of this region varied depending upon the parameters used. A heat affected zone (HAZ) appeared at an abrupt transition between the LSM zone and the substrate. The size of the HAZ, which varied between 20 and 200 microns was predominately affected by the pass velocity in the range of energies used. The hardness profiles showed large variations in the Haz probably due to varing tempering effects from the subsequent passes.8enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1117/12.950065Electronic, Optical and Magnetic MaterialsCondensed Matter PhysicsComputer Science ApplicationsApplied MathematicsElectrical and Electronic Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84957496031&partnerID=8YFLogxK
