We present results of microhardness measurements in melted local regions in molybdenum and tungsten. Microhardness has been measured by the Vickers method. Melted regions have been produced by pulsed Nd-glass laser. The emphasis is on correlation between conditions of recrystallization (energy of laser beam and method of irradiation-single pulse or multiple pulse) and the microhardness value.
