Surface texturing is a promising approach to tailor friction and wear between rubbing surfaces in mechanical components. In this study, surface textures with different geometries and shapes were fabricated on hardened steel ...

Micro-textures applied on rubbing surfaces have gained tremendous attention in the tribological community. Numerous studies deal with the deduction and testing of beneficial micro-textures. Nevertheless, not all questions ...

Surface texturing has gained great attention in the tribological community since precisely defined surface features can help to reduce friction and/or wear irrespective of the acting lubrication regime. The ability to ...

Surface textures with micro-scale feature dimensions still hold great potential to enhance the frictional performance of tribological systems. Apart from the ability of surface texturing to reduce friction, surface textures ...

© 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim Laser surface texturing is a powerful tool to fabricate functional surface textures, whereby their morphology and cross-sectional profile greatly depend on laser parameters ...

Surface texturing has gained significant attention over the last 30 years to tailor friction and wear under various tribological conditions in fundamental and applied tribological systems. Under dry conditions, surface ...

An one-dimensional computer model was used to simulated surface texture effects on engine cylinder bore, top and oil control rings. Steady state, reciprocating tests and engine conditions were considered. For the engine ...

Laser surface texturing is an efficient way to control the friction and wear properties of materials. Although described in many papers, most previous work relates to a pure topographic view of laser-textured surfaces. As ...
