The wettability as well as the corrosion resistance of metal is closely related to the surface microstructure. A surface structure with micro protrusion and nano ripple was designed and constructed on 316L stainless steel by femtosecond pulse laser. Superhydrophobic surfaces with a great contact angle over 150° were obtained by surface modifications of heat treatment or fluorination treatment. The corrosion resistance of the superhydrophobic micro-nano structured surfaces was studied through electrochemical testing. The result of polarization curve revealed that the superhydrophobic micro-nano structured surfaces possessed a higher corrosion potential, signifying the susceptibility to corrosion was reduced. Besides, the results of impedance indicated that the superhydrophobic micro-nano structured surfaces exhibited greater total resistance when compared to the original surface, demonstrating the corrosion resistance was enhanced. According to the results, the superhydrophobic surface, characterized by its micro-nanostructure, facilitates the formation of a protective gas film. Additionally, the intricate micro-nano rough structure, in conjunction with the gas film, effectively shields the underlying surface from infiltrative processes, thereby mitigating the potential exacerbation of corrosion phenomena.
