The laser marking process was carried out with a nanosecond optical fiber ytterbium laser at four different pulse frequencies. For comparison reasons, surfaces without laser treatments were also evaluated. A phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was used as lubricant. The wear tests were carried out during 10 min with PBS drip, solid spheres of AISI 316L SS with 1 inch in diameter and of 52-100 chrome steel, with 2 mm in diameter, were used as counter-bodies. The results indicated that the tribological behaviour is influenced by the laser marking process parameters used, and the wear rate is dependent of the normal force and the type of sphere.1-6openAccessTexto completo de evento0000-0002-1304-2117https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1304-2117
