We investigated the dynamics of LSFL (Low Spatial Frequency LIPSS) evolution on the titanium alloy surface. To create them, 12 W picosecond 1.064 μm laser with a pulse repetition rate from 50 kHz to 500 kHz was used. For different laser repetition rate (500, 150, 100 and 50 kHz), the ranges of LSFL periods and peak Fluence of pulse (Fp) for which the maximum period is reached were determined. We also determined the laser parameters at which the resulting LSFL have good quality and uniformity, regardless of the initial surface roughness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
