Summary

Adding bromine during femtosecond laser micromachining of titanium creates unique "black metal" surfaces. These surfaces exhibit superhydrophilicity, high thermal emissivity, and excellent light absorption, useful for advanced applications.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Engineering
  • Laser Physics

Background:

  • Femtosecond laser micromachining enables precise surface generation on materials like titanium.
  • Laser parameters critically influence titanium surface structuring, with longer pulses favoring melting over ablation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of reactive halogens and halocarbons as additives in femtosecond laser structuring of titanium and Ti-6Al-4V.
  • To control surface microstructure and chemical composition by selecting specific halogens.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 0.75 ps laser pulses for micromachining pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
  • Incorporated reactive halogens (iodine, bromine, chlorine) and halocarbons as process additives.
  • Characterized resulting surfaces using SEM, EDX, infrared thermography, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements.

Main Results:

  • Bromine additive efficiently generated homogeneous micropillar microstructures on titanium under ambient conditions (air, atmospheric pressure).
  • Bromine/air processed titanium surfaces demonstrated superhydrophilicity.
  • These surfaces exhibited significantly increased thermal emissivity and high light absorptivity, qualifying them as "black metal".

Conclusions:

  • Reactive halogens, particularly bromine, offer a method to tailor titanium surface properties during laser micromachining.
  • The resulting superhydrophilic and highly absorptive surfaces have potential applications in areas requiring enhanced light absorption and thermal management.
