Abstract

This study examines the texturing of anodized aluminium using a Rofin PowerLine F 20 Varia nanosecond Yb doped fiber laser. It explores how varying laser parameters like scanning speed, hatching step, laser power, and frequency impact the surface's wetting properties, particularly the contact angle with a water droplet. The research aims to understand the influence of these parameters on the aluminium’s surface, offering insights into the laser micromachining process and its industrial and material science applications.
