F92 steel is widely used for critical components such as valves and power generation equipment, where improved surface hardness and wear resistance are required for enhanced durability. Conventional quenching methods can increase hardness; however, they often suffer from limited effective hardening depth and poor dimensional controllability. In this study, a laser quenching strategy assisted by a laser textured light trapping surface texture is proposed to enhance the depth and properties of the quenching-strengthened layer in F92 steel. The results show that, under the synergistic effect, the surface reflectivity was significantly reduced from 50.0 % in the original sample to 5.7 %, greatly improving the laser energy absorption efficiency and increasing the quenching depth from 1.0 mm to 2.5 mm. After laser quenching with surface texture, the samples exhibited finer grains, lower residual austenite content, higher dislocation density, and the formation of oxygen solid solution in matrix, compared with water quenched and directly laser quenched samples. The hardness of the sample with the light trapping texture increased to 952.8 HV0.5 after laser quenching, while the wear rate decreased to 4.13 × 10−5 mm3·N−1·m−1. Overall, the laser quenched sample with light trapping surface texture exhibited the best hardness and wear resistance, providing a new approach for the surface strengthening of materials such as F92 steel.
