Laser Surface Texturing for Engineering Materials

Bol

This book examines laser surface texturing techniques for various materials and applications. It explores microstructural, tribological, anti-corrosion, and mechanical behaviors of laser textured component surfaces to understand the mechanisms for improving lifecycle and reducing frictional losses. Laser surface texturing (LST) is a process that uses lasers to modify or prepare a material’s surface for improved performance. This book examines laser surface texturing techniques for various materials and applications. It also explores the microstructural, tribological, anti-corrosion, and mechanical behaviors of laser textured component surfaces to understand the mechanisms for improving lifecycle and reducing frictional losses. • Considers LST of metals, ceramics, and polymers. • Offers a unique mix of research and commercials aspects. • Includes process parameters, mechanical properties results, and research outcomes. • Discusses adhesive strength, wettability, microstructural properties, mechanical and tribological behavior, surface roughness, coefficient of friction, and wear rate. • Features case studies. • Describes challenges and application for various materials and properties and bonding strength. Offering a concise approach to a complex technology with minimal mathematical equations, this work provides an overview of surface texturing techniques, their applications, analysis and future advancements for materials, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers.
