Abstract

Laser Interference Metallurgy is a recently developed method for the laser material surface modification by which various interference patterns can be transformed directly, permanently, and efficiently to the surfaces of different kinds of materials. By using of this technique, different metallurgical effects such as melting, recrystallization, quenching, recovery, defect or phase formation can be exploited. In this work, advanced microstructural patterns are designed by means of the two dimensional Fourier Transformation. After that, the geometrical configuration for the laser interference experiments is calculated. Finally, thin metallic films are irradiated in order to demonstrate the viability of the presented method. The resulted structures were studied by means of Focus Ion Beam and Transmission Electron Microscopy. These surfaces represent a new type of long ordered topographical as well chemical patterns which might be applicable for well defined surface functionalization.
