Surface texturing is one of the most efficient surface modification approaches for improving
the tribological performance of engineering materials. Several surface texturing techniques …

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the effect of surface modification on the friction
characteristics of sliding bearings. This paper reviews the previous studies on the influences …

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 …

The present work focuses on the improvement in wettability and bio-tribological performance
of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy using mechanically micro-textured surfaces. Three types of …

Unidirectional sliding experiments with polished and laser textured steel surfaces were
carried out to investigate the effects of different textured area densities, aspect ratios and …

This study investigates the effect of laser surface texturing on the friction behavior and the
lifetime of grey cast iron reciprocating under starved lubrication conditions. Five geometrical …

Textured surfaces have been remarkable in improving the frictional performance of sliding
contacts, particularly at instances such as boundary or mixed lubrication regimes. This …

This paper investigates the effect of surface texturing on the tribological performance of
hydrodynamic slider surfaces. The geometric parameters of the texture considered were the …

This paper presents design and optimization of a new 'star-like'texture shape with an aim to
improve the tribological performance. Initial studies showed that the triangle effect is the …

Materials with well-defined surface structures are prepared using protective coatings
through surface texturing, which is a novel method for modifying surface characteristics …
