We report on periodic, homogeneous nanoripples fabricated on stainless steel (SS), copper (Cu), and aluminum (Al) substrates using an ytterbium pulsed femtosecond laser. These structures called laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) are processed at a relatively high-speed and over large areas. This paper investigates the effect of LIPSS on a wettability behavior of SS, Cu, and Al surfaces. It is shown that nanoripples significantly influenced the wettability character of these metals turning them from hydrophilic to hydrophobic behavior.

A dispensing nozzle is an essential mechanical element in inkjet, dot, and bioprinting. To improve the printing resolution, the inner diameter of the nozzle outlet must be as small as possible. A droplet dispensed through a hydrophilic stainless steel outlet expands on the whole outlet surface and along the side surface of the nozzle. This issue can be solved by physical surface modifications. In the present paper, a femtosecond laser micro-/nano-texturing method was developed to transform the originally hydrophilic stainless steel surface of a nozzle to a hydrophobic or superhydrophobic one. First, an AISI304 plate was used to demonstrate experimentally that, on its surface, the tailored micro-/nano-patterns were reproduced as micro-/nano-textures, making the surface superhydrophobic. Second, the technique was applied to the physical surface modification of an AISI304 stainless steel nozzle outlet by optimizing the femtosecond laser machining conditions. A high-speed camera was used to take a snapshot of the dispensed droplet from the surface-modified outlet. Finally, a line-printing experiment was performed to characterize the dispensing behavior of the stainless steel nozzles with and without physical surface modification.

We report on periodic, homogenous nanoripples fabricated on stainless steel (SS), copper (Cu) and aluminium (Al) substrates using an ytterbium pulsed femtosecond laser. These structures called Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) are processed at a relatively high-speed allowing us to fabricate quasi regular nanoripples in a short time over large areas. This paper investigates the effect of LIPSS on wettability behavior of SS, Cu and Al surfaces. It is shown that nanoripples significantly influenced the wettability character of these metals turning them from hydrophilic to hydrophobic behavior. The most notable behavioral change is observed for SS and Al, where strong hydrophobicity is observed after the generation of LIPSS.

In this work, an analysis of the tribological performance of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) treated X5CrNi1810 stainless steel was conducted. The approach followed by authors was to generate LIPSS-patterned circular tracks, composed of radial straight grooves with uniform angular periodicity. This permitted to measure the tribological properties in a pin-on-flat configuration, keeping fixed the orientation between the grooves and the sliding direction. A Stribeck curve was measured, as well as the consequent wear. A deep analysis of the sub-surface conditions after LIPSS generation was moreover performed using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) cross-section.

The paper presents the microstructural investigation of a friction-welded joint made of 316L stainless steel with an ultrafine-grained structure obtained by hydrostatic extrusion (HE). Such a plastically deformed material is characterized by a metastable state of energy equilibrium, increasing, among others, its sensitivity to high temperatures. This feature makes it difficult to weld ultra-fine-grained metals without losing their high mechanical properties. The use of high-speed friction welding and a friction time of <1 s reduced the scale of the weakening of the friction joint in relation to result obtained in conventional rotary friction welding. The study of changes in the microstructure of individual zones of the friction joint was carried out on an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis system. The correlation between the microstructure and hardness of the friction joint is also presented. The heat released during the high-speed friction welding initiated the process of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of single grains in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). The additional occurrence of strong plastic deformations (in HAZ) during flash formation and internal friction (in the friction weld and high-temperature HAZ) contributed to the formation of a highly deformed microstructure with numerous sub-grains. The zones with a microstructure other than the base material were characterized by lower hardness. Due to the complexity of the microstructure and its multifactorial impact on the properties of the friction-welded joint, strength should be the criterion for assessing the properties of the joint.

This paper describes a method for patterning the graphene layer and gold electrodes on a ceramic substrate using a Nd:YAG nanosecond fiber laser. The technique enables the processing of both layers and trimming of the sensor parameters. The main aim was to develop a technique for the effective and efficient shaping of both the sensory layer and the metallic electrodes. The laser shaping method is characterized by high speed and very good shape mapping, regardless of the complexity of the processing. Importantly, the technique enables the simultaneous shaping of both the graphene layer and Au electrodes in a direct process that does not require a complex and expensive masking process, and without damaging the ceramic substrate. Our results confirmed the effectiveness of the developed laser technology for shaping a graphene layer and Au electrodes. The ceramic substrate can be used in the construction of various types of sensors operating in a wide temperature range, especially the cryogenic range.
