Effect of excimer laser alloying of Ti on the sliding friction of AISI 304 stainless steel Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Dry sliding friction measurements made on titanium layers evaporated on AISI 304 stainless steel in the as-deposited and excimer laser mixed form show a dependence on the film thickness and the amount of mixing. The effect of laser mixing is dependent on the incident fluence with high fluences and/or large numbers of pulses producing surfaces with poor frictional properties. The optimum total fluence depends on the thickness of the surface layer, a result consistent with thorough mixing of the alloyed layer without the surface damage that results from large numbers of pulses.
