Deskripsi

In this paper, laser surface treatment of Al alloy was studied by comparison of sandblasting and laser ablation. The effects of laser spot distribution on surface roughness, contact angle, chemical composition and shear strength of Al alloy were analyzed. The experimental results showed that the bonding performance of Al alloy are promoted by controlling the laser spot spacing. When laser spot spacing was smaller than the size of the laser spot, micro–nano composite structures were induced by multiple laser pulses, which would improve shear strength by increasing the contact area between Al alloy and adhesive. Using laser surface treatment, the adhesion properties on Al alloy can be promoted.
