Abstract
In recent years, with the development of processing technology, surface texturing is applied for sliding surfaces, and is expected to improve the friction characteristics. The lubrication state between two solid surfaces become mixed lubrication when the dynamic pressure decreases in lubricating oil film and contact with two solid surfaces. Therefore, the improvement of lubrication state is required because the mixed lubrication causes the increase of friction force and failure of solid surfaces. It is expected to improve mixed lubrication by processing the surface texturing. In this study, to examine a qualitative tendency on the improvement of the lubrication state by the surface texturing, and to clarify the effect, the analysis has been performed.
