Pico- and femtosecond lasersurfacestructuring of WE54 Mg alloy was investigated in this paper. In particular, the effective response of rare earth elements during laser structuring and the surface structure formation mechanisms were studied. A 10 W picosecond laser, having a wavelength of 1064 nm, a...
