摘要
Tribological properties of a system are very important for saving energy or increasing service life as in automotive industry. It is known that wear and friction behaviour is strongly influenced by the topography of the mated surfaces. In case of lubricated sliding contact the tribological properties can be improved by generating a defined surface structure in form of small channels or isolated pits. Depending on the structure it may act as a reservoir for the lubricant and hampers the drain of the lubricant. In addition, wear particles can be removed from the contact area and can be collected inside the structures. In the present paper, a Nd:YAG-laser was used to generate different structures on ceramic (Al2O3) and steel (100Cr6) surfaces. Microchannels and micropits were generated onto an otherwise flat surface by a laser ablation process. Due to the high flexibility of the laser system, structural features such as size, density and orientation could be varied easily by changing the laser parameters. The effects of different topographies on friction and wear behaviour were examined using a cylinder/plate tribometer for lubricated and reversed sliding contact. Laser structured 100Cr6 and alumina surfaces mated to 100Cr6 cylinders showed that a reduction of friction could be achieved in comparison to the polished surfaces. Dependent on the kind of the surface structure the coefficient of friction could be reduced up to 30%, especially in the initial period of the tribological experiment. The results show that the laser technique is an effective tool to optimise the topography of tribological surfaces. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
