Surface texturing has become a potential method to obtain a low friction coefficient under dry/lubricated conditions for different mechanical product surfaces. The mechanism of friction and wear reduction from a micro-texture on the surface of cemented carbide cutting tools was investigated by dry cutting a titanium alloy. Three kinds of micro-textures, namely, line, sinusoidal and rhombic grooves, with different area occupancy rates were produced by a laser on the cemented carbide surface. Experiments and finite element simulation of ABAQUS were used to investigate the tribological characteristics of micro-textured cemented carbide. The results indicated that the line-textured cemented carbide with an area occupancy rate of 10% showed a low friction coefficient of 0.076, which is approximately 34% of the non-textured sample. Few adhesives appeared on the textured surface, while a large number of adhesives were attached to the smooth surface after 30 min of dry friction between the cemented carbide and the titanium alloy balls. Moreover, among the three textures, the line-groove texture has the smallest friction coefficient and a good anti-wear effect. The results show that the existence of a groove texture can effectively reserve the wear debris, reduce the bond wear and weaken the furrow effect.

Abstract Tribological properties such as lubrication, friction and wear resistance are important to improve machine operating efficiency, machine performances and machine life. To improve tribological properties of sliding surface, scraping is available. Scraping fabricates many small depression on target surface evenly, the depression will function oil hole which promote lubrication of flat bearing surface. Many researchers have reported the surface texturing method which aim is similar to scraping. For example, the techniques fast tool servo turning with diamond insert tool and turn mill processing by dual spindle turning center were reported to fabricate periodically micro dimple. However, these techniques employ expensive high precision machine tools. This paper introduces a more cheaply and rapidly surface texturing technique which employs ultrasonic vibration turning to obtain low friction surface and improve tribological properties. In ultrasonic turning, cutting tool tip is vibrated in principal direction and radial direction simultaneously origin from poisons deformation of ultrasonic transducer. The radial direction tool vibration functions to squeeze workpiece surface in workpiece radial direction periodically, textured surface will be obtained. The results of ultrasonic turning experiments, textured surfaces were obtained. In order to evaluate the tribological performance of the turned surface, friction coefficient between stainless steel pin and turned surface were measured under oil dipping condition. It was confirmed that friction coefficient of ultrasonic turned surface is drastically reduced compared with ordinary turned surface. And proposed technique is available to perform surface texturing for several materials.

The superhydrophobic surface can change the friction property of the material, reduce the adhesion of the friction interface, and produce a certain slip, thereby reducing the friction coefficient. The laser has high energy, high density, and is especially suitable for the surface treatment of materials. The laser surface texturing is a good way to construct superhydrophobic surfaces. The experiment uses a nanosecond pulse laser to construct the groove texture on the nickel surface. The contact area between the air and the droplets retained on the rough surface is increased, effectively preventing the water droplets from entering the gully of the surface microstructure, reducing the water droplets and the solid surface. The contact area ultimately makes the surface exhibit excellent superhydrophobicity. A superhydrophobic nickel surface having an apparent contact angle of water (ACAW) of 160° and a sliding angle (SA) of less than 10° was prepared. The MM-W1B vertical universal friction and wear tester was used to test the groove texture samples with different depths. The surface texture can capture the wear debris generated by the wear and store the lubricant, which is beneficial to the formation of fluid dynamic pressure lubrication and improve the load. The friction coefficient is reduced from 0.65 of the unprocessed surfaces to 0.25 after the texturing, and the friction performance is greatly improved.

When light alloys used in coal mine, the sparks generated by mechanical friction and impacts are the main effective ignition source. While the hot surfaces are concomitant in friction process, prior to the occurrence of mechanical sparks, whether the hot surfaces will be an effective ignition source. Then this paper focuses on the development of hot surfaces generated by TC4 titanium alloy at the low friction velocities. Experiments and finite element simulation methods were used together to describe the temperature field of TC4 titanium alloy. It was found that the temperature of hot surfaces increased with the load and increased much faster at higher relative speed. By means of regression analysis, the variation law of friction coefficient and contact pressure with loads and the variation law of hot surface temperature with friction coefficient and pressure were studied, then the fitting curve of hot surface temperature was obtained. The results of calculations and experiments indicate that hot surfaces generated by light alloy was possible to be an effective ignition source for methane air mixture in coal mine.

AbstractIn recent years surface texturing of the cutting tools has proved to improve tribological characteristics at tool/chip and tool/workpiece interface and help to reduce cutting and feed forces as well as tool wear. Most, if not all, of the studies have focused on subtractively made textures whereby the material is removed from the surface. This study investigates the performance of additively made surface structures whereby hard ceramic particles are dispersed in the form of dome shaped textures on the surface of the cutting tools using solid state millisecond pulsed laser (pulsed laser implantation). Dry cutting tests were performed on ductile cast iron. The results show a greater reduction of process forces with implantation of flank face as compared to rake face. Both cutting and feed forces were reduced by 10% compared to the non-structured tool. In addition, the tool life increased by a factor of 3 whereas the average flank wear reduced by as much as 80% and cutting edge rounding by up to 60%.

Tribological properties such as lubrication, friction, and wear resistance greatly affect machine operation efficiency, performance, and service life. Surface texturing methods such as scraping can be used to improve these properties. Scraping creates many small depressions on the target surface. These depressions, which are evenly distributed, function as oil holes and thus improve lubrication performance. This paper describes a surface texturing technique based on ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning (UVAT) that simultaneously improves tribological properties and machinability. In UVAT, the cutting tool is oscillated mainly in the principal direction. Vibration in the radial direction, which is induced by Poisson deformation, periodically digs up or pushes the workpiece surface in the radial direction, creating a textured surface. A surface subjected to UVAT has periodic depressions along the workpiece rotation direction. The texturing rate of UVAT is up to 6700 mm2/min, which is higher than that of manual scraping. To evaluate the tribological performance of a surface textured by UVAT, the friction coefficient between a stainless steel pin and the surface was measured under oil dipping conditions. The results of friction experiments show that the friction coefficient of the UVAT-treated surface and its fluctuation were lower than those of a conventional turned surface. The UVAT-treated surface had stable friction properties.

The poor tribological performances of titanium have significantly limited its applications in the field of artificial joints. In order to solve problems regarding the wear and corrosion of artificial joints in the body, we fabricated the composite materials utilizing the combination of laser surface texturing and nitrogen ion implantation technology, and investigated the effect of laser surface texturing, nitrogen ion implantation, and different dimple area densities on tribological performance. The results show that the textured surface could reduce the friction coefficient and improve the wear resistance, and the optimum dimple density was found to be 25%. After N ion implantation, the wear resistance of the textured sample was further improved, due to the formation of the nitride layer. Moreover, as shown by the electrochemical test results, the corrosion resistance was enhanced significantly. The friction coefficient decreased the most, and the wear resistance increased by 405% with the lowest wear rate of 0.37 × 10−3 mm3/N·m. However, the specimen with a dimple density of 60% had the worst wear resistance. The results of the study provide a basis for the development and application of artificial joint materials.
