A super-hydrophobic aluminum alloy surface with decorated pillar arrays was obtained by hybrid laser ablation and further silanization process. The as-prepared surface showed a high apparent contact angle of 158.2 ± 2.0° and low sliding angle of 3 ± 1°. Surface morphologies and surface chemistry were explored to obtain insights into the generation process of super-hydrophobicity. The main objective of this current work is to investigate the maximum spreading factor of water droplets impacting on the pillar-patterned super-hydrophobic surface based on the energy conservation concept. Although many previous studies have investigated the droplet impacting behavior on flat solid surfaces, the empirical models were proposed based on a few parameters including the Reynolds number (Re), Weber number (We), as well as the Ohnesorge number (Oh). This resulted in limitations for the super-hydrophobic surfaces due to the ignorance of the geometrical parameters of the pillars and viscous energy dissipation for liquid flow within the pillar arrays. In this paper, the maximum spreading factor was deduced from the perspective of energy balance, and the predicted results were in good agreement with our experimental results with a mean error of 4.99% and standard deviation of 0.10.

Abstract Laser welding of metals – polymers has gained strong scientific and industrial interest because of its ability to produce miniaturized joints in lightweight products with customized properties. Surface pretreatments before joining process have shown significant impact on enhancing properties of laser welded metal – polymer joints. This work adopts a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach to investigate the influence of titanium alloy (Ti64) laser ablation parameters on the performance of laser welded Ti64 – polyamide (PA6.6) assemblies. In this first study, significant laser ablation parameters were highlighted, process window outlined, and optimal parameters identified. Laser ablation pretreatment parameters demonstrated a strong influence on joint resistance to failure. Effects of laser ablation parameters on titanium surface morphology were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). In a second study, the effects of ablation parameters on Ti64 surface properties and welding quality will be investigated.
