... plastic deformation and rapid surface heating, the surface porosities were effectively healed, thus reducing the surface roughness. Combined with the surface-strengthening effects of LSP, the frictional resistance and transfer layer formation on the CSAM LSP surfaces were reduced. The underlying...

...X. Fan; D. F. Diao The contact mechanisms of a transfer layered surface during sliding wear of a Si 3 N 4 ball against the amorphous carbon film were investigated. In this study, amorphous carbon films were deposited by electron cyclotron resonance plasma sputtering technique. The dependence...

... tester. The goals of the experiments were to ascertain the influence of inclination angle and grinding mark direction on friction and transfer layer formation during sliding contact. The inclination angle of the plate was held at 0.2 deg, 0.6 deg, 1 deg, 1.4 deg, 1.8 deg, 2.2 deg, and 2.6 deg...

...Pradeep L. Menezes; Kishore; Satish V. Kailas; Michael R. Lovell Surface texture plays an important role in the frictional behavior and transfer layer formation of contacting surfaces. In the present investigation, basic experiments were conducted using an inclined pin-on-plate sliding apparatus...

... the effect of direction of surface grinding marks on interface friction and transfer layer formation. EN8 steel flats were ground to attain different surface roughnesses with unidirectional grinding marks. Al–Mg alloy pins were then scratched against the prepared EN8 steel flats. The grinding angle (angle...
