الوصف: Icing, the phenomenon of the formation and accumulation of ice or frost on a surface due to the solidification of water droplets at low temperature can be undesirable in many applications. Surface icing can lead to increased energy consumption in aerospace and automotive applications due to increased aerodynamic drag. Ice formation can also present a mechanical and electrical safety hazard, and as such significant work has been done to produce surfaces with anti-icing properties through surface modification to decrease ice formation and adhesion to surfaces. One route toward the generation of anti-icing surfaces is through laser surface processing. Laser micro/nano structuring of surfaces has shown a commendable progress in recent years due to advancements in laser source technology and reduction in capital costs for ultrafast femtosecond pulsed machining lasers. Laser material processing offers a rapid, scalable, and non-contact method for fabricating large area antiicing surfaces. In this work, the production of anti-icing surfaces using femtosecond laser micro- and nanostructuring on aluminum alloy 7075 surfaces was examined. With an aim to optimize the anti-icing properties of the substrates, laser parameters such as pulse energy, repetition rate and beam scanning speed were varied to produce highly defined microstructures on the aluminum surface. Also examined was the use of scanning optics and spatial light modulation to allow upscaling of the laser process to large areas.
