Laser surface texturing is currently the most developed technique of producing in a completely repetitive way microcavities on the surface of machine elements. From the point of view of the technology of making textures, a very important aspect is the appropriate selection of process parameters in order to obtain texture elements with desirable and repeatable geometries and physicochemical properties. Surface texturing increases the resistance to scuffing and wear through fretting, and is also used wherever the adhesive properties of surface layers are of importance (printing techniques, joining materials, biological and chemical activity of the surface, coating, etc.) [7]
