研究目的
Investigating the effects of femtosecond laser texturing on the wettability of stainless steel surfaces to achieve superhydrophobic properties.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated that femtosecond laser texturing can modify the wettability of stainless steel surfaces, transitioning from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic states. The process can be optimized for higher productivity by adjusting repetition rates and process parameters. Further investigations into the chemical composition changes and their effects on wettability are recommended.
研究不足
The study is limited by the energy accumulation effect at higher repetition rates, which can deteriorate the geometry of the structures. The chemical modifications of the surface over time also present a challenge for maintaining consistent wettability properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses an ultrashort pulsed laser technology for surface texturing, combining high power pulses at high repetition rates to create dual-scale surface structures.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Stainless steel samples (AISI 316L) were used, cleaned in an ultrasonic bath before and after laser irradiation.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A high mean power diode-pumped Ytterbium fiber laser (Tangerine model from Amplitude Systèmes), integrated into the MUSE-3D micro-machining platform. Characterization devices include a 3D profilometer, white light interferometric microscopy, and SEM.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Laser texturing was performed by scanning the sample with a galvanometric head, using a pattern of crossed parallel lines at various repetition rates. The process parameters were adjusted to optimize the surface structures.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The topography and chemical composition of the textured surfaces were analyzed using 3D profilometry, interferometric microscopy, SEM, and EDS. Wettability was assessed by measuring static contact angles over time.
