Figure 6
A bar graph comparing indices for Steel A2 and Steel H13, featuring categories like Coating Index, Fatigue Index, Lubrication Index, and Finishing Index with corresponding values and error bars.The image displays a bar graph divided into two sections, one for Steel A2 and another for Steel H13. Each section features five bars representing different indices: Coating Index, Fatigue Index, Lubrication Index, and Finishing Index, with values for each category shown above the bars. The bars are arranged vertically and colour-coded for each index: yellow for Coating Index, blue for Fatigue Index, green for Lubrication Index, and grey for Finishing Index. Error bars are also present, indicating variability around the values. The Steel A2 section is labeled as (a), and the Steel H13 section is labeled as (b). Both sections flow from left to right, with the categories consistently represented across both types of steel. The y-axis ranges from zero to one.

Performance indices following the surface texturing of A2 (a) and H13 steel (b) components manufactured via ADAM technology with various abrasives: (i) FBC – fine brown corundum, (ii) WC – white corundum, (iii) P – plastic shot, (iv) G – glass microspheres, (v) WS – walnut shell, (vi) BC – coarse brown corundum. The performance index (PI) is dimensionless (0 = worst, 1 = best)
