The invention relates to a method for treating (100) a surface (S) of a sample (SAM) made of metallic or
ceramic material (MM), comprising a treatment step (ETAt) consisting of scanning said surface (S) to be treated with a
continuous wave laser beam called the treatment
laser beam (LBT) having a treatment power (Pt) and a treatment spot (ST) on said surface, the treatment spot having a
diameter (DST) called the treatment
diameter, said treatment spot moving at a scanning speed (vt) called the treatment speed on said surface, the treatment
diameter (DST) being less than or equal to 100 µm, the treatment power (Pt), the treatment diameter (DST) and the treatment scanning speed (vt) being determined so that a point on the surface of said sample receives a determined
surface energy density (Est) such that the material (MM) of the sample at that point reaches a
melting temperature,The treatment process is carried out under an
inert atmosphere or under vacuum. No figure.
