This work has been carried out to reduce the softening of heat affected zone on laser surface alloying. Iron based rapid solidification material with $Cr_{5-10}$, $V_{1-3}$, $Mo_{3-7}$, $W_{2-5}$, $B_{7-8}$, $C_{2-3}$, $Si_{0.5-1}at%$ was alloyed on the surface of SM45C steel. The excellent softening resistance in alloyed and heat affected zone showed, which could be attributed to the formation of stable high temperature precipitates.
