Laser surface texturing (LST) is a process that uses lasers to modify or prepare a material’s surface for improved performance. This book examines laser surface texturing techniques for various materials and applications. It also explores the microstructural, tribological, anti-corrosion, and mechanical behaviors of laser-textured component surfaces to understand the mechanisms for improving... Read more
