Enhancing tribological performance of the magnetic tape/guide interface by laser surface texturing
Air-lubricated foil bearings are used in a variety of applications such as turbomachinery, journal bearings, dentistry equipment, etc. [1–3]. One of the most intricate applications of air-lubricated foil bearings can be found in magnetic tape drives [4], where a magnetic tape moves over a read/write head and tape drive components such as guides (stationary) and rollers (rotating). Friction is a...
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...
متن کاملSurface Texturing-Plasma Nitriding Duplex Treatment for Improving Tribological Performance of AISI 316 Stainless Steel
Surface texturing-plasma nitriding duplex treatment was conducted on AISI 316 stainless steel to improve its tribological performance. Tribological behaviors of ground 316 substrates, plasma-nitrided 316 (PN-316), surface-textured 316 (ST-316), and duplex-treated 316 (DT-316) in air and under grease lubrication were investigated using a pin-on-disc rotary tribometer against counterparts of high...
متن کاملEffect of surface texturing by femtosecond laser on tantalum carbide ceramics for solar receiver applications
Tantalum carbide, as a Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic, is known to be characterized by intrinsic spectral selectivity, which makes it attractive for novel high-temperature thermal solar absorbers. However, a weakness point of TaC is the solar absorbance, which, in absence of any treatment, is usually lower than that of other materials currently under development for solar absorber applications....
متن کاملOptimum 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...
