  • manipulation of tribological properties of stainless steel by Picosecond Laser texturing and quenching
    Tribology International, 2016
    Co-Authors: Zhuo Wang, Chengwei Wang, Quanzhong Zhao, Min Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract We reported on the manipulation of tribological properties of stainless steel by Picosecond Laser texturing and quenching. The micro-grooved textures were formed on the steel surface, accompanied with the appearance of nanostructures with grain sized of 80–400 nm, oxides thin film (Fe 2 O 3 and Cr 2 O 3 ) and martensite during Picosecond Laser surface texturing process. The tribological tests indicated that the average friction coefficients and wear rates of textured surfaces initially increased then decreased with the increase of spacing of micro-grooves. The well-controlled friction and wear properties are attributed to the combined effects of induced micro-/nanostructures, martensitic transformation and oxides thin film in the local quenched zone of stainless steel samples.

  • modification of wettability of stainless steel by Picosecond Laser surface microstructuring
    Photonics Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: Chengwei Wang, Yang Zhang, Quanzhong Zhao
    Abstract:

    We report on the modification of the wettability of stainless steel by Picosecond Laser surface microstructuring in this paper. Compared with traditional methods, Picosecond Laser-induced surface modification provides a fast and facile method for surface modification without chemical damage and environmental pollution. As a result of treatment by 100 ps Laser pulses, microstructures are fabricated on the stainless steel sample surface, contributing to the increase of the contact angle from 88° to 105°, which realizes a transformation from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity. The morphological features of fabricated microstructures are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy.

  • fundamentals of Picosecond Laser ultrasonics
    Ultrasonics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Osamu Matsuda, M C Larciprete, Roberto Li Voti, Oliver B Wright
    Abstract:

    Abstract The aim of this article is to provide an introduction to Picosecond Laser ultrasonics, a means by which gigahertz–terahertz ultrasonic waves can be generated and detected by ultrashort light pulses. This method can be used to characterize materials with nanometer spatial resolution. With reference to key experiments, we first review the theoretical background for normal-incidence optical detection of longitudinal acoustic waves in opaque single-layer isotropic thin films. The theory is extended to handle isotropic multilayer samples, and is again compared to experiment. We then review applications to anisotropic samples, including oblique-incidence optical probing, and treat the generation and detection of shear waves. Solids including metals and semiconductors are mainly discussed, although liquids are briefly mentioned.
