레이저 쇼크 패터닝을 통한 표면 텍스처링이 알루미늄과 강 접촉면의 마찰특성에 미치는 영향

In this study, a laser shock surface patterning process was applied to effectively transfer a micro-pattern array to an aluminum specimen. The effect of surface texturing on the tribological properties of aluminum and steel contact surfaces was investigated. In dry conditions, the friction coefficient of the contact surface could be significantly reduced through surface texturing. However, as the contact load increased, the amount of wear debris collected in the cavity became too large, and the influence of the micro-pattern on the frictional force decreased. In lubricated conditions, surface texturing significantly reduced the average friction coefficient and its variation. The effect of surface texturing became prominent in high contact load conditions due to the increase in hydrodynamic effects. Further studies considering the pattern geometry, loading conditions, and properties of the lubricant are needed to quantitatively model the coefficient of friction.
