Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Laser surface modification has been widely applied to the pre-treatment of material surfaces for interface bonding, however, there is inevitable risk of environmental exposure for laser-treated surfaces during engineering application, and the evolution of laser-induced modifications remains unclear under environmental exposure. This study investigates the robustness of laser-treated aluminum surface under typical atmospheric and aqueous environments with temperature varying from -40℃ to 80℃. Although the carbon elemental content and water contact angle greatly fluctuate with exposure environments from 23 at.% to 33 at.%, and from 0° to 148°, respectively, laser-treated surfaces exhibit stable strength improvement of ~25% compared to untreated condition even after 30 days exposure. Notably, hygrothermal exposure of 80℃ and 95%RH significantly declines the bonding strength by ~45%, and this strength degradation is accompanied by 1.8% increase of carbon elemental content and water contact angle of ~150°. Results reveal that laser-generated nano-structures play crucial role in strength improvement, instead of carbonaceous contaminants and surface polarity, and nanostructure transformation causes an apparent strength degradation and change of fracture mode from cohesive to interface. This work uncovers the dominant role of laser-generated nano-structures in enhancing interfacial bonding strength, and provides supports for engineering application of laser surface modification.
