In this study, an Nd:YAG laser was used to carry out laser surface remelting treatment on FeCrNiMnMo x (x = 0, 0.5, 1) alloys. A study was conducted on the potential impact of Mo on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of the laser-remelted layer. According to the research results, FeCrNiMnMo x alloys were more effective in refining the dendrites, compared with the matrix, whereas the FeCrNiMn alloys' remelted layer exhibited an almost single face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. In comparison, FeCrNiMnMo 0.5 and FeCrNiMnMo 1 alloys' remelted layer displayed the FCC and σ phase. In addition, the dendrite crystals' microstructure can be clearly refined by Mo alloying. Mo is effective in improving the corrosion resistance of the FeCrNiMnMo x alloys' remelted layer in 3.5% NaCl solution. The pitting resistance of Mo-containing-remelted layers is significantly higher, compared with Mo-free alloy's remelted layer, and the FeCrNiMnMo 0.5remelted layer shows the most satisfactory corrosion resistance. As revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses, the addition of molybdenum promotes the generation of Cr 2 O 3 and enhances the corrosion resistance of the remelted layer.
