Ablative laser processing of titanium surface in n-hexane

The work is devoted to the problem of high-spherical powders synthesis by the method of laser ablation processing of refractory metals. An investigation of interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with titanium in an n-hexane medium has been carried out. The dependence of granules size and dispersion of synthesized micro- and nanoparticles on the parameters and processing conditions, namely, laser radiation energy, scanning speed, working medium and pressure is shown.
