Abstract

In this work, the technique of Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) was used to fabricate micrometric structures at the surface of Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum and AZ91D magnesium alloys. Line-like patterns with spatial periods of 5 μm were textured using an ultra-short pulsed laser (10 ps pulse duration and 1064 nm wavelength) with a two-beam interference setup. The surface topography, morphology, and chemical modifications were analysed using Confocal Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. Laser fluence and pulse overlap were varied to evaluate their influence on the final structure. Homogeneous structures were achieved for the CoCrMo alloy for every condition tested, with deeper structures (up to 0.85 μm) being achieved for higher energy levels (higher overlap and/or fluence). For high energy, sub-micrometric secondary structures, so-called LIPSS, could also be observed on the CoCrMo. The EDS analysis showed some oxidation after the laser texturing. Regarding the AZ91D alloy, deeper structures could be achieved (up to 2.5 μm), but more melting and oxidation was observed, forming spherical oxide particles. Nonetheless, these results bring new perspectives on the fabrication of microtextures on the surface of CoCrMo and AZ91D using DLIP.
