Selection of micro-fabrication techniques on stainless steel sheet for skin friction

Abstract

This review gives a concise introduction to the state-of-art techniques used for surface texturing, e.g., wet etching, plasma etching, laser surface texturing (LST), 3D printing, etc. In order to fabricate deterministic textures with the desired geometric structures and scales, the innovative texturing technologies are developed and extended. Such texturing technology is an emerging frontier with revolutionary impact in industrial and scientific fields. With the help of the latest fabrication technologies, surface textures are scaling down and more complex deterministic patterns may be fabricated with desired functions, e.g., lotus effect (hydrophobic), gecko feet (adhesive), haptic tactile, etc. The objective of this review is to explore the surface texturing technology and its contributions to the applications.

Electrodeposition of amorphous Fe-Cr-Ni stainless steel alloy with high corrosion resistance, low cytotoxicity and soft magnetic properties

“…Moreover, some of them can be employed for biological and medical applications thanks to their sufficient biocompatibility. Recent growing demands for miniaturization in high-tech industries have pushed the development of several microfabrication techniques for stainless steel, such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) using metal powder [11] and micro-powder injection molding [12]. However, these micromachining technologies still require improvement with regard to cost, performance, process time and precision, which are severe technological challenges, mostly due to the high chemical resistance and hardness of stainless steel.…”

Texture Design for Reducing Tactile Friction Independent of Sliding Orientation on Stainless Steel Sheet

“…All the textures were produced by pulsed laser surface texturing (LST), with a picosecond laser in 400 kHz pulse rate with maximum 50 W power. According to the recently published article, the LST technique is the most suitable fabrication method for deterministic surface pattern on stainless steel material [40]. In addition, the stochastic reference sample was produced by cold rolling in conventional 2G finish, which is used to fabricate testing samples Z001, Z002, and Z003.…”
