...Leonid Burstein Purpose This paper aims to assess the hydrodynamic lubrication of two opposing surfaces with identical pores having a semicircular profile. The surfaces are treated with more than one pore that allows clarification of whether there exists interaction between the pores. Design...

...Ahmad Firdaus Shamsul Baharin; Mariyam Jameelah Ghazali; Juyana A Wahab Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to make people aware of the increase usage of laser system in surface texturing process. Design/methodology/approach – As it is a brief review paper, no particular method was used...

...Chen Wengang; Ge Shirong; Pang Lianyun; Zhang Yonghai Purpose – Three types of pattern on the monocrystalline silicon surface were prepared by using laser surface processing equipment. The DLC film and Si-DLC film on the patterning surface were deposited by using PECVD-2D plasma chemical vapor...

... dust weather which was simulated by the self‐built test‐bed with an actual diesel engine. Three‐dimensional surface morphology was applied to produce a comprehensive characterization of cylinder liner's wear. Ferrography and oil spectrum analysis were employed for further understanding of the abrasion...

...M.A. Maleque; H.H. Masjuki The wear properties of tribo‐materials are strongly influenced by the use of lubricants and their additives. The presence of additive in the lubricating oil causes changes in the material surface characteristics by the formation of protective boundary films which result...

...Etsuo Marui; Hiroki Endo In this study, we examined the improvements in friction and wear properties between steels for aircraft parts, resulting from the surface modifications with electroless plating film and amorphous carbon coating or diamond‐like carbon (DLC) coating. Friction and wear...
