Laser Modification of the Surface of Titanium: Technology, Properties, and Prospects of Application

Аннотация

Abstract—The surface morphology of the VT1-00 titanium alloy after pulsed laser processing is studied. The morphology of the titanium surface layer is revealed to depend on the modes of the technological process of modification by means of laser radiation. The variation in the technological-process parameters, such as the voltage of the excitation lamp, the duration and repetition frequency of pulses, and their number in at irradiation spot, provided the possibility of controlling the thermal effect on the formation of submicrometric parameters for metal-ceramic films and coatings. The effect of the processing modes on the parameters of the surface morphology heterogeneity is established. The possibility of modifying the surface morphology for a certain specific task is shown.
