Abstract. The paper presents the results of research of the impact of laser treatment on the properties of the surface layer of tool steel. Two grades of tool steel were qualified for the tests and they were subjected to a pulse laser and a continuous-mode laser treatment. In order to analyze the influence of laser beam impact on the properties of the surface layer of the studied material, metallographic investigations and microhardness profile tests were carried out in the surface layer.
