Friction Behavior for Micro-Scale Grooved Crosshatch Pattern under Lubricated Sliding Contact
Some surface patterns of tribological application are an attractive technology of engineered surface. Because of the friction reduction is considered to be necessary for improved efficiency of machine. This study was investigated for the effect of friction property for angles of micro-crosshatch groove surface pattern on bearing steel used pin-on-disk test. We obtain sample which can be fabricated by photolithography process. We discuss the friction property depended on an angle of crosshatch groove surface pattern. We can verify the lubrication mechanism as Stribeck curve which has a relationship between the friction coefficient and a dimensionless parameter under the lubrication condition. It was found that the friction coefficient was related to angle of crosshatch groove pattern on contact surface.
