Abstract

The tribological properties of cast iron have been investigated to determine the effects of micro-texturing the surfaces. The micro-textured surfaces were prepared by shot blasting or milling using a shaper. The surfaces with groove patterns and mesh patterns had higher friction coefficients than the flat surfaces. The surfaces with dimpled patterns had lower friction coefficients than the flat surfaces. The results indicated that the dimpled pattern had a beneficial effect by decreasing the friction.
