Abstract
Abstract
Laser surface texturing (LST) has emerged as a versatile and efficient technique for modifying surface properties across various materials. This paper provides an analysis of the characteristics and diverse applications of laser surface texturing. The paper begins by explaining the fundamental principles underlying LST, highlighting the mechanisms involved in material interaction and the resultant surface modifications. It explores the influence of laser parameters such as pulse duration, energy density, and wavelength on the texturing process, emphasizes their impact on surface morphology, roughness, and topographical features. Furthermore, this paper delves into the wideranging applications of LST across different industries and fields. It examines how LST enhances surface functionalities, including improvements in tribological properties, wettability, friction reduction, and biocompatibility. Additionally, the utilization of LST for creating microstructures enabling advanced functionalities in optics, electronics, biomedical devices, and energy harvesting systems is discussed. Moreover, the challenges and future directions in LST technology are highlighted, which encompass advances in precision, scalability, and integration of LST with other manufacturing processes. The potential environmental implications and economic feasibility of LST are also discussed.
In summary, this paper examines the characteristics, applications, challenges, and future prospects of laser surface texturing, showcasing its significance as a promising technology for tailoring surface properties across diverse materials and industries.
