Abstract: Surface microstructuring and modification of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 were investigated using a femtosecond pulse laser irradiation. The surface micrographs of the scanning electron microscopy ...

The seals have significantly longer lifespans as a result. Combining the coating and microstructuring also makes it possible to use water-based lubricants, which was previously not feasible. "The ...
