The article is devoted to the analysis of the effect of laser surface modification on the hardness and wear resistance of steel SHX15SG used in the manufacture of roller screw mechanisms. Experiments on laser surface modification were performed on the Russian domestic SVAROG-1-5DR laser system. to get the maximum hardness value. When laser processing without melting the surface of steel SHX15SG, the laser radiation power should be in the region of 5 kW, which corresponds to the maximum power for the installation used. The speed of movement of the laser beam relative to the treated surface should be equal to 25 mm/s, and the focal length should be at least 60 mm. In the case of laser treatment with surface reflow, higher hardness values are obtained at a power of 2 kW. Increasing the power of laser radiation to 5 kW leads to a decrease in hardness. In this case, the speed value should be equal to 25 mm/s, and the focal length should be close to 85 mm. When the focal length is reduced to 60 mm, laser treatment no longer causes melting of the surface of the material under study.
