Abstract

An excellent hydrophobic and super-oleophilic surface on 316 L stainless steel was obtained by femtosecond laser irradiation in deionized water. Using lower laser fluence and scanning speed of femtosecond laser irradiation, a single stripe structure was fabricated and the corresponding contact angle to water and ethylene glycol was 127.2° and 19.6°, respectively. When laser fluence and scanning speeds increased, stripes, grooves, and holes structures were obtained on the surface and the corresponding water contact angles increased and ethylene glycol contact angles decreased, with a maximum water contact angle of 142.5° and minimum ethylene glycol contact angle of 6.4°.
