Laser textured titanium surface characterization

Laser surface texturing has emerged as an environmental technological option and fast developing technique to provide different conditions. In order improve its efficiency, it is necessary overcome the usual trial error approach by carefully mastering operating parameters. The present work analyzes effects of a pulsed nanosecond laser beam on processing titanium surfaces. textured surfaces were characterized using various experimental techniques, including scanning microwave microscopy (SMM). results show impact fluence, number pulses dimple pitch mainly from morphological (microscopies) mechanical (XRD SMM) perspective. topography was analyzed according A model cumulative effect been demonstrated. addition, modifies residual stresses. state varying parameters also comparing isolated dimples regions whole. Many changes found such stresses, that need be known better understanding performance behavior materials.
