Optimum dimple diameter for friction reduction with laser surface texturing: the effect of velocity gradient
This paper describes the modelling and testing of mm-scale hydrodynamic bearings which are being developed to improve the efficiency of a cm-scale turbine energy harvester, whose efficiency was previously limited by poorly lubricated commercial jewel-bearings. The bearings were fabricated using DRIE and their performance was assessed using a custom built MEMS tribometer. Results demonstrate tha...
متن کاملReducing the Magnetic Tape/guide Friction Coefficient by Laser Surface Texturing: Experimental Analysis
The friction coefficient is an important parameter in designing magnetic tape transports. We have introduced laser surface texturing to reduce the friction coefficient between guides and magnetic tape. The surface features enhance the formation of an air bearing and hence, reduce the friction coefficient. INTRODUCTION Lateral tape motion (LTM) is defined as the time-dependent motion of the tape...
متن کاملWear Characterization of Cemented Carbides (WC–CoNi) Processed by Laser Surface Texturing under Abrasive Machining Conditions
Cemented carbides are outstanding engineering materials widely used in quite demanding material removal applications. In this study, laser surface texturing is implemented for enhancing, at the surface level, the intrinsic bulk-like tribological performance of these materials. In this regard, hexagonal pyramids patterned on the cutting surface of a tungsten cemented carbide grade (WC–CoNi) have...

متن کاملLaser Surface Texturing of Polymers for Biomedical Applications
Polymers are materials widely used in biomedical science because of their biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties (which, in some cases, are similar to those of human tissues); however, these materials are, in general, chemically and biologically inert. Surface characteristics, such as topography (at the macro-, micro, and nano-scale), surface chemistry, surface energy, charge, or wett...
