Abstract
A new method to produce iron-noble metal surface alloys is described. Quenched-and-tempered AISI 4135 steel was electroplated with Pd, Pt an d Au and laser surface melting was carried out to produce the respecti ve surface alloys. CW CO, laser power levels of 50, 100 and 200 W were employed. Auger depth profiling showed that alloying was achieved wit h Pt and Pd at all three power levels, but only at 200 W with Au.
