Surface Engineering

Background:

Surface texturing is crucial for improving lubrication performance.
Understanding cavitation's role in micro-textured lubrication is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

Investigate the impact of micro-texture parameters and distribution on fluid film lubrication.
Analyze the influence of cavitation on bearing capacity and friction.
Determine optimal texture configurations for enhanced performance.

Main Methods:

Developed a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) lubrication model incorporating cavitation.
Designed and simulated various micro-texture arrays.
Validated simulation results using a visualized plane slider experimental platform.

Main Results:

Cavitation significantly contributes to the increased bearing capacity of micro-textured surfaces.
Symmetric texture arrays offer superior oil film bearing capacity.
Optimal bearing performance is observed at a texture inclination angle of 26.6°.
Asymmetric textured arrays reduced friction coefficient by 29.4% compared to non-textured surfaces.

Conclusions:

Cavitation is a critical factor in micro-textured lubrication and must be included in simulations.
Surface texture design, particularly symmetric arrays and optimal inclination angles, can substantially enhance bearing performance and reduce friction.
