T1 - Mimicking lizard-like surface structures and their fluid transport upon ultrashort laser pulse irradiation of steel N2 - The wetting behavior of material surfaces can be controlled by surface structures. We functionalized case-hardened alloyed carbon steel to modify the wetting behavior using ultrashort laser pulses (fs- to ps-range). The laser processing was performed by scanning the laser beam across the surface of initially polished flat sample material. An experimental study of the laser processing parameters (peak fluence, scan velocity, line overlap) rendered an assignment of different regimes associated with characteristic surface morphologies (laser-induced periodic surface structures, grooves, micro cones, etc.) possible. Analyzing the surface using optical as well as scanning electron microscopy allowed the identification of morphologies providing the optimum similarity to the natural skin of non-moisture havesting lizards. For mimicking skin structures of moisture-harvesting lizards, additionally a two-step laser processing strategy was established for realizing hierarchical microstructures. In this approach, micrometer-scaled capillaries (step 1) were superimposed by a laser-generated regular array of small dimples (step 2). Optical focus variation imaging measurements finally revealed the three dimensional topography of the laser processed surfaces derived from lizard skin structures. The functionality of these surfaces was analyzed in view of wetting and directional fluid transport properties. The results suggest possible applications of the laser-structured surfaces.

However, the robust nature of biofilms makes them also attractive for industrial applications where cell biocatalysts are increasingly in use. Since tailoring material properties that affect bacterial growth or its inhibition is gaining attention, here we focus on the effects of femtosecond laser produced nanostructures on bacterial adhesion. Large area periodic surface structures were generated on steel surfaces using 30-fs laser pulses at 790 nm wavelength. Two types of steel exhibiting a different corrosion resistance were used, i.e., a plain structural steel (corrodible) and a stainless steel (resistant to corrosion). Homogeneous fields of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) were realized utilizing laser fluences close to the ablation threshold while scanning the sample under the focused laser beam in a multi-pulse regime. The nanostructures were characterized with optical and scanning electron microscopy. For each type of steel, more than ten identical samples were laser-processed. Subsequently, the samples were subjected to microbial adhesion tests. Bacteria of different shape and adhesion behavior (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) were exposed to laser structures and to polished reference surfaces. Our results indicate that E. coli preferentially avoids adhesion to the LIPSS-covered areas, whereas S. aureus favors these areas for colonization.

In order to mimic the morphology and outstanding wetting behaviour of bark bugs, ultrashort laser pulses with durations in the fs- to ps-range were employed for large area surface processing of steel. By scanning the laser beam across the surface of initially polished flat sample surfaces and systematically varying the laser processing parameters (peak fluence, scan velocity, line overlap), different regimes associated with characteristic surface morphologies (laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS), grooves, spikes, etc.) could be identified. Additionally, different laser processing strategies were applied, varying laser wavelength, pulse duration and repetition rates, which allowed to achieve a range of morphologies that resemble different structures found on bark bugs. For identifying the ideal combination of parameters for mimicking such bug-like structures, the surfaces were inspected by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy. Complementary to the morphology study, the wetting behaviour of the surface structures for water and oil was examined intensively in terms of fluid transport and philic/-phobic nature. Additionally, with these results in hand, tribological tests investigating the wear resistance of the laser-induced nano- and microstructures were carried out. Our results demonstrate that the functionality of surface structures found in nature could be transferred to technologically relevant materials, such as steel, providing a huge potential for industrial applications for instance in friction and wear reduction.

Within this work, different types of steel were irradiated at optimized conditions for the processing of large surface areas. For these nanostructured surfaces, the coefficient of friction (COF) using different lubricants was determined and the corresponding wear tracks were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our experiments provide a qualification of the tribologicalperformance of the fs-LIPSS on different steel surfaces, which are relevant for technical applications.

A1 - Balasubramaniam, Krishnan T1 - Online Laser Thermography for the Detection of Surface Cracks in Hot Steel N2 - The detection and characterization of surface breaking cracks in steel prior to damage is a technologically as well as economically important task especially for safety-relevant structures. Detection of small cracks already during the steel production process might significantly reduce the risk of failure and reduce production costs due to an obsolete post-processing. However, the hostile environmental conditions (high temperature specimens) together with very strict requirements in current steel production (production speeds, in-line testing and evaluation) are challenging and render many well-established NDE techniques hardly applicable. We present an approach to use laser thermographic testing as a fast, remote and contactless NDE method, that addresses these challenges and might ultimately allow for online crack detection. The basic idea of laser thermographic testing, introduced by Kubiak in 1968, is the monitoring of the heat flow as induced by local heating. Disturbances within the heat flow generated by the presence of surface cracks can then be analyzed by image processing algorithms, as we have shown in previous work. The aim of the presented work is to advance laser thermographic testing to be applicable to the specific conditions of steel production environments. This purpose was met by the development of a laboratory setup that allows us to simulate production conditions, as rolling speed, specimen temperature, laser heating power and study their influence on crack detection performance. This parametric study enabled us to develop and improve data processing and crack detection algorithms with the final goal of providing optimized in-line crack detection. The studies were accompanied by comprehensive FEM simulations to intensify the understanding of the contrast formation as well as the crucial parameters influencing the performance of the method.

These materials are subject to aggressive corrosion caused by hot gases such as CO2, H2O, O2 and SO2. Especially SO2 causes fatal corrosion even as a minor component. To examine sulfurous corrosion mechanisms, experiments with pure SO2 were conducted. A proper analysis of the material changes requires phase identification and quantification with a high lateral resolution within the corrosion scale.
