Introducing specific textures on a tribological surface can contribute to friction reduction in
sliding contacts. In the present paper, a pulsed Nd: YAG laser emitting at 1064nm, was used …

It is well known that dimpled surface can improve tribological characteristics. The
fundamental aim of the present research is to demonstrate the process of making micro …

The beneficial effect on lubrication achieved through microtexturing of sliding surfaces by
laser ablation and polishing was investigated. The investigation was based on two …

Laser surface texturing is often employed to improve tribological performances of mating
surfaces. The principal aim of the present work is to study local modifications induced by …

In this article, a laser partially textured thrust bearing is theoretically and experimentally
analyzed. An adiabatic model is developed in order to theoretically investigate the …

Surface texturing has proved to be very efficient in full and mixed lubrication, reducing the
friction coefficient and the wear rate of mating surfaces. By partially texturing the inlet zone of …

This work presents and discusses the tribological behavior of NiCrBSi coatings obtained by
diode-laser cladding and with good high-temperature antiwear behavior, textured by aNd …

The coating adhesion is an important property of cutting tools. High speed steel twist drills
coated with TiN have proved that cutting speeds can be 2.5–4 times higher and feed velocity …

Laser surface texturing (LST) is a well-known surface engineering process used to create
arranged dimples on surface using a material ablation process. In this process, a well …
