Enhancing Anticorrosion Resistance of Aluminum Alloys Using Femtosecond Laser-Based Surface Structuring and Coating.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We report a robust two-step method for developing adherent and anticorrosive molybdenum (Mo)-based coatings over an aluminum (Al) 6061 alloy substrate using a femtosecond (fs) laser. The fs laser nanostructuring of Al 6061 alloy in air gives rise to regular arrays of microgrooves exhibiting superhydrophilic surface properties. The microstructured surface is further coated with an Mo layer using the fs-pulsed laser deposition (fs-PLD) technique. The combination of the two femtosecond laser surface treatments (microstructuring followed by coating) enabled the development of a highly corrosion-resistant surface, with a corrosion current of magnitude less than that of the pristine, the only structured, and the annealed alloy samples. The underlying mechanism is attributed to the laser-assisted formation of highly rough hierarchical oxide structures on the Al 6061 surface along with post heat treatment, which passivates the surface and provide the necessary platform for firm adhesion for Mo coating. Our results reveal that the corrosive nature of the Al-based alloys can be controlled and improved using a combined approach of femtosecond laser-based surface structuring and coating.
