Abstract
Interaction of CO2, Nd:YAG, excimer and high power diode laser HPDL.radiation with the surface of a common mild
steel EN8.was found to effect changes in the wettability characteristics of the steel, namely changes in the measured
contact angle. These modifications are related to changes in the surface roughness, changes in the surface oxygen content
and changes in the surface energy of the mild steel. The wettability characteristics of the selected mild steel could be
controlled andror modified by laser surface treatment. A correlation between the change of the wetting properties of the
mild steel and the laser wavelength was found. q2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
