Investigation of the Tribological Properties of Different Textured Lead Bronze Coatings under Severe Load Conditions

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the variation in coefficient friction (CoF) and also wear a lead bronze coating under different texture conditions. tribological tests were performed using tribometer with pin on disk configuration. Several kinds textures, realised by surface laser texturing, tested varying diameter, depth, density dimples severe working innovative aspect concerns behaviour textured lubrication conditions when sample subjected extreme load Confocal microscopies SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)/EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) analyses evaluate deterioration coating. results show that application processing leads an improvement properties By analysing separately geometric parameters dimples, it has been shown best are obtained diameter 50 μm, 5%, depth 5 μm.
