Abstract
Laser processing of ductile cast iron can produce surfaces with unique, metastable microstructures which are very erosion/abrasion resistant. This paper discusses relationships between the laser processing parameters, the resulting microstructures and the wear characteristics/mechanisms for slurry erosion and abrasion.
