The paper considers the state-of-the-art in the field of heat hardening, alloying, cladding and coating processes, in which the main role is given to laser radiation. Flow diagrams of the above processes are presented, and their advantages and disadvantages are noted. Prospects for further development of these processes are analysed by examples of their practical application.
Keywords: laser technologies, heat treatment, alloying, cladding, coating, hybrid and combined processes, advantages and disadvantages, practical application, prospects for development
