    On the combination of plasma nitrided surfaces and LIPSS
    LIPSS are subjected to excessive wear when exposed to direct contact in tribological applications. Therefore, precautions must be taken to increase LIPSS’ hardness and wear resistance while simultaneously preserving their properties like superhydrophilicity. This work shows that a firstly plasma nitrided and subsequently structured surface results in LIPSS of high nano-hardness (14.88 GPa ± 1.05 GPa) who show a super hydrophilic wetting behavior (contact angle of 7°). The results indicate that a previous nitriding could bring LIPSS into tribological applications.

    Macro-pore free sub-surface PBF-LB/M components through laser polishing
    Despite notable improvements in the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) in recent years, residual porosity is still an issue. Near surface pores can affect the functional properties of PBF components, such as their fatigue life, yield strength, or corrosion behavior. To help address the challenge, this work shows that laser polishing decreases the surface roughness while also creating a highly dense sub-surface region of PBF parts with only microscale pores remaining.
