... was observed by scanning electron microscopy and analyzed. Findings It has shown that laser surface texturing can improve the wear performance of microfilaments. Under the same experimental conditions, the microfilaments of textured surface has a smaller depth of wear than un-textured specimen. The wear...

...Dezun Sheng; Tao Ni; Ming Zou; Huichen Zhang Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of laser surface texturing on the tribological performance of Ti-6Al-4V disks sliding against Si3N4 balls under hydroxyethyl-cellulose water-based lubrication. The friction coefficients and wear losses...

... textured area was 10 × 10 mm. Laser surface texturing was a time consumption process. For a higher surface texturing efficiency of the laser marking machine, the normal scanning mode of the laser beam was selected for concave surface texturing, and the cross packed scanning mode of the laser beam...
