The wear rates of tribological polymers are strongly influenced by counterface roughness through competing mechanisms such as polymer abrasion by counterface asperities and mechanical engagement of debris into the features of the rough surface. Previous studies have shown that an ultra-low wear (k ~ 10−7 mm3/Nm) alumina–PTFE solid lubricant loses wear resistance and the ability to form stable transfer...
Laser-induced surface micro-pits pattern has been successfully used under fluid lubrication to reduce friction and wear through mechanisms of enhanced hydrodynamic lubrication and fluid retention. Limited successes of friction and wear reduction using solid lubricant and textured surfaces have been reported in the literature, and there still lacks an efficient way of finding textures that produce...
