Abstract:This study investigates how laser-induced surface modifications influence key properties such as wear resistance, hardness, and friction in dry and lubricated conditions. The research applies nanosecond pulsed laser treatment to create random, quasi-random, quasi-periodic, and periodic surface structures on the steel surface, aiming to enhance the wear resistance and reduce the coefficient of friction (COF). The frictional performance between the carbon steel ball and the texturized surface was evaluated, incl… Show more
