Abstract

We analyze vacuum storage-assisted transformation of laser-textured aluminum, copper and stainless steel from hydrophilic to hydrophobic state that occurs only in the case of vacuum pump that uses mineral oils and additives. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements demonstrate an increase in the carbon-containing components on the metals surface with the increase of the storage time inside the vacuum chamber. The alternative storing of laser-treated hydrophilic samples at the conditions when vacuum was obtained using oil-free pumps did not reveal any change in the wettability properties. Reverse transition from the hydrophobic to the hydrophilic state is achieved by annealing only in oxygen-containing environment. We found that low-temperature annealing of as-prepared laser-textured samples in air did not transform the wettability of the hydrophilic metals.
