“…Due to the integrated computer-aided design software with the laser system equipment, a wide variety of geometrical shape disclosure can be applied for microstructuring, allowing different patterns to be designed without difficulty. Until now, the most used pattern designs were dimple/hole/crater array [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], parallel lines [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60], meshed or cross-pattern [48,53,55,[60][61][62][63]. The outstanding pattern designs were square [49,57,62], triangle [62], coral-rock and star-like [64], single ellipse [39,65,66], lotus leaf-like [52], prominent structures [67], octagons [39], and Siberian-Cocklebur-like [34].…”

Due to its wide applicability in industry, devising microstructures on the surface of materials can be easily implemented and automated in technological processes. Laser Surface Texturing (LST) is applied to modify the chemical composition, morphology, and roughness of surfaces (wettability), cleaning (remove contaminants), reducing internal stresses of metals (hardening, tempering), surface energy (polymers, metals), increasing the adhesion (hybrid joining, bioengineering) and decreasing the growth of pathogenic bacteria (bioengineering). This paper is a continuation and extension of our previous studies in laser-assisted texturing of surfaces. Three different patterns (crater array-type C, two ellipses at 90° overlapping with its mirror-type B and 3 concentric octagons-type A) were applied with a nanosecond pulsed laser (active medium Nd: Fiber Diode-pumped) on the surface of a ferritic stainless steel (AISI 430). Micro texturing the surface of a material can modify its wettability behavior. A hydrophobic surface (contact angle greater than 90°) was obtained with different variations depending on the parameters. The analysis performed in this research (surface roughness, wettability) is critical for assessing the surface functionality, characteristics and properties of the stainless steel surface after the LST process. The values of the surface roughness and the contact angle are directly proportional to the number of repetitions and inversely proportional to the speed. Recommendations for the use of different texturing pattern designs are also made.
