Abstract

Surface structuring and compositioning in aluminum alloy 2024-T3 were demonstrated using a femtosecond pulse laser. Surface nanostructuring was developed as a function of laser parameters and the surface micrographs of the scanning electron microscopy were characterized as a function of incident laser fluence. Surface compositioning was performed by selectively removing the elements on the surface of the sample. Femtosecond studies of highly excited electrons were performed by a pump–probe technique, and the thermalization time was found to be in a range of 1.5–3 ps, increasing with incident fluence. The time-resolved measurement is well matched to the numerical calculation.
