Excimer Laser Surface Modification: Process and Properties

Surface Modification of TIMETAL 834 by Excimer Pulse Laser

Ti alloys become very popular in various engineering fields due to its light weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance properties. Nevertheless, its application is limited in many areas like: tribology, high temperature oxidation and aggressive corrosion fields due to its poor surface properties. Therefore, the proper surface treatment is required to increase the usageof Ti alloys in ...

Polystyrene surface modification using excimer laser and radio-frequency plasma: blood compatibility evaluations

Biomaterial surface modification is an efficient method to improve and control blood component-material interactions. In the present study, two different methods (ArF excimer laser irradiation and radio-frequency (RF) plasma treatment) were applied in separate procedures to create a vast range of physicochemical characteristics on the surface of polystyrene (PS) and investigate their effects on...

Experimental Study on the Surface Modification by Electrical Discharge Process

The creation of modified layer on metal surfaces using new methods is one of the procedures in surface engineering which can improve the surface mechanical properties. The electrical discharge process is a new method that can form a modified layer on the metal surfaces. This study aims to improve of pure aluminum surface properties through Electrical Discharge process with Monel 400 electrode. ...
