Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies reported in the literature, surface
micro-texturing to control friction and wear in lubricated tribo-contacts is still in the trial-and …

Surface texturing has emerged in the last decade as a viable option of surface engineering
resulting in significant improvement in load capacity, wear resistance, friction coefficient etc …

Surface texturing to control friction and wear has been the focus of numerous studies in the
last few decades. Despite this interest, understanding the underlying causes for surface …

Surface phenomena play a decisive role in the behaviour of engineering parts; their
understanding and control are fundamental to the development of many advanced fields …

Significant improvement in load capacity, wear resistance, friction coefficient etc. of
tribological mechanical components can be obtained by forming regular micro-surface …

The friction and wear behaviour of boundary lubricated sliding surfaces is influenced by the
surface texture. By introducing controlled depressions and undulations in an otherwise flat …

The influence of surface topography on lubricant film thickness has been investigated for the
reciprocating sliding of patterned plane steel surfaces against cylindrical counterbodies …

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) is a coherent and
monochromatic source of electromagnetic radiation that can propagate in a straight line with …

We report experimental and numerical investigations of the friction characteristics of
microtextured surfaces. The textures are of size 28–257μm on stainless steel surfaces …

Experiments were carried out on a reciprocating tester. The lubricant was supplied into the
inlet side of the contact zone. The construction of tribological tester allows to measure the …
