Description
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.
This book:
* 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 the challenges, applications, material properties, and bonding strength of various materials
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.
