Research Progress on Effects of Laser Texture on Tribological Properties of Surface of Materials
Abstract
Laser texture has been widely used in the fields of mechanical production, precision medical treatment, and material surface modification, because of its high precision, high speed, and low environmental pollution.Over the past 30 years, related researches have entered a stage of vigorous development, with the emergence of ultrafast laser texture technology.However, due to the wide variety of geometric topography and various arrangements and combinations,problems such as poor universality of parameter design in different materials still hinder the development of laser textured friction reduction research.Therefore, this work reviewed the development history of laser texture friction reduction researches from the aspects of geometrictopography, dimensional parameters, laser parameters, lubrication conditions, etc.The influences of the laser texture’s geometry topography, parameters and working conditions on the tribological properties were discussed, and the friction reduction mechanism of the laser texture under different lubrication conditions was summarized.Furthermore, the current problems of laser texturing technology were put forward, and its future development direction was prospected.
