Abstract: Laser surface treatment of 65 Mn steel for agricultural machinery was carried out by using high power semiconductor laser. The effects of laser power (1.5-2.5 kW) and scanning speed (20-40 mm/s) on the microstructure and hardness distributions were studied. The temperature distribution during laser surface treatment was simulated by using ABAQUS software, the variation law of temperature field was analyzed, and the mathematical model of peak temperature was established. The results show that after laser surface treatment, the hardened layer of the 65Mn steel is composed of martensite and retained austenite, and the content of retained austenite decreases with the increase of depth from the surface. The depth of the hardened layer is 80-680 μm, and the hardness is 800-970 HV0.5. In addition, the simulation results show that the peak temperature increases with the decrease of scanning speed and the increase of laser power, and decreases with the increase of depth from the surface. The established peak temperature model is in good agreement with the simulation results, and the culculation results of the hardened layer depth are in good agreement with the measured values.
