Abstract

In the present paper the morphology and microstructure of Al-Fe-Cu surface layer are presented. Al-Cu-Fe alloys has low electrical conductivity, low surface energy and coefficient of friction, high hardness and brittleness at room temperature. Al-Fe-Cu alloys are suitable for several applications, for.ex. wear resistant coatings, thermal barrier coatings. The laser ablation was performed using Nd:YAG pulsed laser (355 nm emission wavelength, 10 ns pulse duration, 10 Hz repetition rate). The higest laser fluences was 10 J/cm2. The SEM, EDS, AFM and RTG techniques are used for characterise the surface layers obtained.
