42 Abstract— New developments in industry initiate the need to identify newer process/ source for carrying out various tedious applications. Both conventional and non-conventional machining processes are accordingly updating in context with these recent trends. Laser surface hardening (non-conventional machining process), a solid state phase transformation hardening is neither an exception to this. Various researchers have elaborately discussed the importance and implications observed during this process. Cast iron, normally used in various automobile parts is subjected to wear due to sliding contact and hence the selective hardening of mating surface needs to be carried out. Hence, an experimental study of solid-state phase transformations during the laser surface hardening of cast iron is conducted. In this, a fiber laser of power 100 W in continuous-wave (cw) and pulsed mode is used in conjunction with a beam integrator. The process parameters viz; beam power, beam diameter, travel speed and pulse time are varied to study their effects on geometry, dimensions and hardness of heat affected zone.
