Laser-induced microstructures offer new way to color metals

Laser-induced microstructures offer new way to color metals 27 Apr 2021 ITMO University platform allows researchers to add surface markings and information. Artist at work: laser marking Modifications to the surfaces of metal films are a key aspect of their stability, durability and environmental impact, but they also directly affect their appearance and color. The colors of treated metal films are themselves also a factor in the uses to which they can then be applied, so control of those hues has been the subject of considerable research. A group at Saint Petersburg s ITMO University has now demonstrated a new way to exercise fine control over the surface colors and colored patterns made on titanium, by using a laser to create specific surface structures designed to interact with incident light in a particular manner. The work was published in Optica.

Laser paintbrush creates miniature version of Van Gogh s Starry Night that s erasable

The Impressionist work was burned onto a titanium canvas in four  minutes Colors are created from thin layers of metal oxide formed when the metal cools Depending on the thickness of the layers, they reflect different hues By raising the temperature, the colors can be erased and rewritten several times  The artworks are more resistant to damage and don t need special storage

Researchers use laser paintbrush to create miniature masterpieces

The Optical Society WASHINGTON Researchers are blurring the lines between science and art by showing how a laser can be used to create artistic masterpieces in a way that mirrors classical paints and brushes. The new technique not only creates paint-like strokes of color on metal but also offers a way to change or erase colors. “We developed a way to use a laser to create localized color on a metallic canvas using a technique that heats the metal to the point where it evaporates,” said research team leader Vadim Veiko from ITMO University in Russia. “With this approach, an artist can create miniature art that conveys complex meaning not only through shape and color but also through various laser-induced microstructures on the surface.”
