Influence Of Laser Beam Intensity On Geometry Parameters Of A Single Surface Texture Element

Abstract

Laser surface texturing is used more and more often in modern machines for the implementation of variety of purposes such as for example intensification of lubrication, intensification of heat exchange, stimulation of microfluidics, increasing the chemical activity of the surface. Owing to the development of technologies using a concentrated energy flux, including laser microprocessing, it has become feasible. The present paper concentrates on the selection of parameters of laser microprocessing with picosecond pulses so as to obtain the highest efficiency and accuracy of the execution of a single texture element.
