Micro/nano structuring of KrF Excimer laser-irradiated Aluminum (Al) has been correlated with laser-produced structural and mechanical changes. The effect of non-reactive Argon (Ar) and reactive Oxygen (O2) environments on the surface, structural and mechanical characteristics of nano-second pulsed laser-ablated Aluminum (Al) has been revealed. KrF Excimer laser with pulse duration 20 ns, central wavelength of 248 nm and repetition rate of was utilized for this purpose. Exposure of targets has been carried out for 0.86, 1, 1.13 and 1.27 J·cm−2 laser fluences in non-reactive (Ar) and reactive (O2) ambient environments at a pressure of 100 torr. A variety of characteristics of the irradiated targets like the morphology of the surface, chemical composition, crystallinity and nano hardness were investigated by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Nanohardness tester techniques, respectively. The nature (reactive or non-reactive) and pressure of gas played an important role in modification of materials. In this study, a strong correlation is observed between the surface structuring, chemical composition, residual stress variation and the variation in hardness of Al surface after ablation in both ambient (Ar, O2). In the case of reactive environment (O2), the interplay among the deposition of laser energy and species of plasma of ambient gas enhances chemical reactivity, which causes the formation of oxides of aluminum (AlO, Al2O3) with high mechanical strength. That makes it useful in the field of process and aerospace industry as well as in surface engineering.
