LASER ABLATION IN TRIBOLOGY
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2009, Vol 227, Issue 5
Abstract
On the basis of published literature and conducted experiments, an overview of the state of knowledge state in laser ablation material surface treatment was done with a stress on short and ultra-short impulse laser application. The authors propose that, in definition and systematisation of laser micro-treatment, divisions be arranged into groups. Experimental results in the field of laser cleaning, impact strengthening (LSP), modification, and laser cavity micro-treatment in tribology are presented.<br/><br/>

WEAR RESISTANCE OF STRUCTURAL STEELS AS A RESULT OF BORONISING OPERATIONS
This paper presents the results of investigations on the effect of thermochemical treatment, boronising and chemical composition of selected structural steels on their wear in sliding friction process. The operation of b...
MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF ROTATING SYSTEMS WITH GAS FOIL BEARINGS UNDER TRANSIENT OPERATING CONDITIONS
Gas foil bearings are on the cutting edge of bearing systems that spread worldwide. Although it is a common practice to apply such systems to high-speed fluid-flow machinery, their modelling and analysis still pose a num...
THE EFFECT OF OIL POCKET ARRAYS ON FRICTION COEFFICIENT
Experiments were carried out using pin-on-disc tester in conformal lubricated contact conditions for different normal loads. Surface texturing was done using abrasive jet machining with the application of laser cut mask....
THE INFLUENCE OF PROLONGED KNEADING IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER ON THE TRIBOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GREASES CONTAINING ORGANIC AND MINERAL ADDITIVES
This paper presents the tribological characteristics of synthetic greases containing mineral and organic additives after prolonged kneading in the presence of water. The investigated greases were composed on a base of pa...
Zużycie łożyskowań ślizgowych ze zmodyfikowaną konstrukcją czopa w przypadku zanieczyszczenia oleju cząstkami ściernymi
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań zużycia łożyskowań ślizgowych smarowanych olejem zanieczyszczonym tlenkiem glinu. Przebadano sześć skojarzeń różniących się twardością współpracujących elementów oraz konstrukcją czo...
