Abstract

The chapter delves into the impact of surface textures on the tribological performance of lubricated concentrated point contacts. It discusses how specific micro-geometries, such as dimples, bumps, grooves, and ridges, can enhance lubricant spreading and film thickness, thereby reducing friction and wear. The study employs numerical methods to analyze the performance of different textures, including micro-cylindrical, micro-elliptical prisms, and micro-rectangular prisms, under various operating conditions. The results indicate that elliptical prism textures with the major axis perpendicular to the rolling direction show the most significant improvements in film thickness and coefficient of friction reduction. This chapter offers valuable insights into the design and optimization of surface textures for enhanced tribological performance in applications such as rolling bearings, piston rings, and gears.
