The paper shows the possibility of using an ytterbium nanosecond pulsed fiber laser for surface alloying of 3Kh2V8F tool steel. Alloying was carried out from a boron carbide paste. The analysis of the microstructure of cross sections and the relief of the processed surface are presented. The phase and elemental compositions of the surface layers obtained as a result of laser alloying, as well as the distribution of microhardness in these layers, have been studied. The fundamental possibility of alloying with boron carbide using an ytterbium nanosecond pulsed fiber laser was established, and the structural-phase state of the layers was determined as a function of the laser parameters.
