The laser processing (i) was carried out by a Ti:sapphire laser (pulse duration 30 fs, central wavelength 790 nm, pulse repetition rate 1 kHz) in a regime of generating laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). The experimental conditions (laser fluence, spatial spot overlap) were optimized in a sample-scanning setup for the processing of several square-millimeters large surface areas covered homogeneously by these nanostructures. The differently oxidized titanium surfaces were characterized by optical microscopy, micro Raman spectroscopy, variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, and instrumented indentation testing. The tribological performance was characterized in the regime of mixed friction by reciprocating sliding tests against a sphere of hardened steel in fully formulated engine oil as lubricant. The specific tribological performance of the differently treated surfaces is discussed with respect to possible physical and chemical mechanisms.

As a result of the irradiation with a variable number of laser pulses per spot (N /spl les/ 5), several morphological changes (crater formation, rim formation, ripple structures, and cones) were observed. These effects were explored using force modulation microscopy (FMM), a technique based on scanning force microscopy, allowing the simultaneous imaging of both topography and local stiffness at a high lateral resolution. The first laser pulse induces the formation of a protruding rim (height < 20 nm, width /spl ap/ 300 nm) bordering the ablated crater. A Fourier analysis of the multipulse generated topographies reveals the formation of wavelength-sized periodic ripples (modulation depth < 100 nm) with an orientation perpendicular to that of the electric field vector of the laser radiation. Besides these morphological alterations, material modifications were also observed in the irradiated regions by means of the FMM technique. Within the ablated craters, local stiffness variations were found revealing an inhomogeneous material composition/structure as a consequence of the femtosecond pulse laser treatment.

With an increasing number of pulses per spot, N, up to 100, a characteristic evolution of two different types of ripples has been observed, i.e., (i) the growth of a grating perpendicular to the polarization vector consisting of nearly wavelength-sized periodic lines and (ii), in a specific pulse number regime (N = 5–30), the additional formation of equally oriented ripples with a spatial period close to half of the laser wavelength. For pulse numbers higher than 50, the formation of micrometer-spaced grooves has been found, which are oriented perpendicular to the ripples. These topographical surface alterations are discussed in the frame of existing LIPSS theories.
