What is it about?

This article explores laser features which are micro-surface textures. It uses laser processing parameters such as focal position, laser power and scanning speed to change the contact area. The research compares the contact area, phase state of the surface textures.

Why is it important?

Many joints in automotive industry are made up of frames to support loading. The research develops a methodology of improving insertion and pull-out force for reproducibility and repeatability of use.

Perspectives

The perspective was novel interference of cylindrical joints with close tolerances. To improve ease of maintenance, reusability and repair of automotive joint parts.
