To optimize their surface properties, we apply direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) microtextures using nano (ns)- and picosecond (ps) pulses to an additively manufactured Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy. It was observed that both the surface topography and chemistry as well as the microstructure are affected by the laser treatment. Single- and multiscale topographies were obtained by ns- and ps-DLIP, respectively. The nanosecond texturing led to an increased cubic β-phase fraction and the formation of a 25 nm thick passive layer, resulting in improved corrosion resistance. The ps-DLIP exhibited a defective surface oxide layer and a larger surface area due to the multi-scale topography, but nonetheless achieved improved corrosion resistance related to a partial wetting state.enlaser powder bed fusiondirect laser interference patterningbeta titanium alloycorrosionSurface PatterningThin Film Patterning and FunctionalizationDDC::600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaftenconference paper
