Abstract
Hastelloy is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-iron-based alloy and a member of the ‘superalloy’ family. Hastelloy has exceptional properties like high strength, wear resistance and high-temperature stress-corrosion resistance. Therefore, Hastelloy is used in gas turbines, power plants, metal injection molding, etc. Many industrial applications are related to the properties of the surface. Wettability is a key surface property that affects applications like lubrication, adhesion, coating, heat conduction, etc. Laser Texturing is an excellent method to modify the surface properties of materials like metal, polymers and ceramic. In the present study, a carbon dioxide laser created unidirectional textures on Hastelloy (C22, C276, X). Different sets of unidirectional textures were formed by changing the laser power and frequency. Various roughness parameters were compared for every laser parameter. In this paper, the effective change in wettability properties of Hastelloy (C22, C276, X) after the Laser texturing process for a range of power and frequency were studied under DI water and glycerol as test fluids. Results show that the contact angle of the test fluid increases as the laser power increases, and the contact angle decreases as the laser frequency increases for all three superalloys. The surface energy of a given set of samples was also measured using the recorded contact angle of DI water and Glycerol by the OWRK equation. Similar trends were found in surface energy for all three Hastelloy.
期刊介绍:
Defect and Diffusion Forum (formerly Part A of ''''Diffusion and Defect Data'''') is designed for publication of up-to-date scientific research and applied aspects in the area of formation and dissemination of defects in solid materials, including the phenomena of diffusion. In addition to the traditional topic of mass diffusion, the journal is open to papers from the area of heat transfer in solids, liquids and gases, materials and substances. All papers are peer-reviewed and edited. Members of Editorial Boards and Associate Editors are invited to submit papers for publication in “Defect and Diffusion Forum” . Authors retain the right to publish an extended and significantly updated version in another periodical.
