  • Patent number: 11939679
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for preparing an anticorrosive surface layer of a metal material in a marine environment by laser, which belongs to the technical field of laser processing. First, the laser cladding method is used to prepare a cladding surface layer on the surface of the metal material that is not easy to undergo chemical substitution reaction with the chlorides (NaCl, MgCl2 , CaCl2 etc.) in the seawater. Then, on the surface of the cladding surface layer, ultrafast laser processing is used to form a surface layer with a wetting angle (and water) greater than 90 degrees and with hydrophobic characteristics.
