Abstract
Surface texturing is one mechanism that friction coefficients in both dry and lubricated contacts can be reduced compared
with untextured, flat surfaces. End milling and shot blasting are two processes used to produce surface textures, includ-
ing monolithic textures that have one type of surface feature, as well as multi-scale roughness features when two texturing
processes are sequentially used. In such surfaces, we have observed that surface texturing decreases the measured friction
coefficient under lubricated conditions, and that greater reductions in the friction coefficient are observed for those surfaces
that had been both end milled and shot blasted. Simulations replicating the experiments suggest that the greatest factor con-
tributing to the reduced friction observed for the textured surfaces is a result of increased fluid pressure in the contact region
resulting from cavitation of the lubricant. However, a substantial decrease in the depth of the dimples on worn surfaces was
also observed, suggesting that entrapment of wear particles within the surface texture features may also influence the meas-
ured friction coefficient. Alongside friction measurements, analysis of the wear track depth showed that surface texturing
also has a beneficial influence on the calculated Archard wear coefficient.
