Over the past few decades, the rapid development of ultrafast lasers, such as femtosecond
lasers and picosecond lasers, has opened up new avenues for material processing due to …

Structured surfaces exhibit functional properties that can enhance the performance of a
bioimplant in terms of biocompatibility, adhesion, or corrosion behavior. In order to tailor the …

The picosecond laser-induced ripple formation on the stainless steel surface upon
irradiation with linearly-polarized single-pulse and dual-wavelength cross-polarized double …

Conversion of a regular metal surface to a superhydrophobic one has great appeal because
of the wide range of potential applications such as anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, and anti-icing …

We have studied femtosecond ablation under sprayed thin water film and its influence and
benefits compared with ablation in the air atmosphere. These have been studied in case of …

Warm hydromechanical deep drawing (WHDD) has increasingly been implemented by
automotive industry due to its various benefits including mass reduction opportunities in auto …

Superhydrophobic surfaces were generated on stainless steel SS 304 substrates, using a
combination of physical as well as chemical modification of the surface and tested for use in …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages of laser surface melting for
improving wetting over the traditional approach. For comparison, kovar alloy was …

Cross-sectional microstructural analyses of micron/nano-sized structures (termed
microneedles) formed by low and high fluence pulse laser ablation of AISI 4340 steel …

In this paper we report the fabrication of nanoparticles and nanostructures through the
interaction of ultrashort (~ 40 fs) and short (~ 2 ps) laser pulses with bulk Aluminum …
