This study analyzes the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy substrates, in particular, changes in flexural behavior of laser-textured surfaces. Bending tests are conducted on samples treated by laser texturing and by conventional methods such as chemical degreasing and sandblasting. A comparison of flexural strengths caused by the different surface pre-treatments method is presented.
