Impact Treatment of the Surface of Oxygen-Free Copper with Nanosecond Laser Pulses in Water
摘要
Abstract—
The surface of oxygen-free copper has been modified by a focused beam of a nanosecond solid-state laser under a water layer at energy densities Wp in the range 20–32 J/cm2, using uncoated copper and samples having absorbing coating. Laser treatment of the uncoated surface to an energy density of 32 J/cm2 produced pits about 2.75 μm deep, whereas the pit depth on the coated surface was as large as 5 μm. The pit depth was determined as a function of laser pulse energy density. The effect of impact treatment of oxygen-free copper with a single high-power nanosecond laser pulse has been examined.
