In this research work, nanosecond pulsed fiber laser texturing was performed on Aluminum-Mg alloy (AA5754). Effect of laser texturing as a surface pre-treatment method in adhesive bonding process was investigated in details. Laser texturing was performed in under open air condition, under static water condition and under flowing water conditions. Grid shaped textures were fabricated on Al-Mg alloy work-pieces. The geometrical parameters of grid texturing were varied at two levels. Pitch of the lines were kept at 300 and 400 μm in both horizontal as well as vertical directions. Scanning speed of laser texturing process was also varied at two levels that is 2.5 and 5 mm/s. Total four experiments were conducted in each atmospheric conditions. Surface roughness and water contact angle of each surface was evaluated. Surfaces were also characterized using scanning electron microscope. Lap shear strength of each samples were evaluated using a universal tensile testing machine (UTM). Failed surfaces were analyzed to investigate the mode of failure. It was observed that the textures created in flowing water conditions resulted in cohesive mode of failure while samples fabricated in open air and in under static water conditions failed in adhesive and mixed mode respectively. Samples prepared in flowing water conditions resulted in higher lap shear strengths compared to static water, open air, and plain surfaces.
