A femtosecond laser was used to create microstructures on very pure metal surfaces. The irradiated samples initially showed super-hydrophilic behavior. With time and exposure to ambient air the contact angle increased to about 160 degrees with very low hysteresis. The surfaces supported the Cassie and Wenzel wetting states, depending on the technique used to deposit the water droplets. The created surface morphologies were idealized with a geometric model that is an assembly of densely packed cylindrical pillars with semispherical caps. Using this geometric model for calculation of the surface roughness, a theoretical Young contact angle of about 99 degrees was calculated for all samples from the Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter equations. While the value of 99 degrees significantly differs from the measured hydrophilic contact angles on the polished pure metallic samples, it indicates that a laser-induced surface reaction must be responsible for the evolution of contact angles to super-hydrophobic ones and that this phenomenon is independent of the type of metal.
