6. Conclusions
- The pressure and velocity distribution of fluid in different micro-textures were analyzed by Fluent fluid simulation. The result shows that the surface lubrication film of semicircular ring micro-textured specimens has the best bearing capacity, and the dynamic pressure lubrication effect is the most prominent.
- Comparing the friction coefficient of the surface of three textured specimens, the friction coefficient decreases with the increase of the experimental force at a certain rotational speed and becomes more and more stable. When the experimental force is 300 N, the friction coefficient is the lowest and most stable.
- When the area occupancy ratio of the three textures is about 10%, three types of textured specimens have the lowest surface friction coefficient, and the semicircular ring textured specimens have lower surface friction coefficients than the triangular and triangular groove.
- The wear forms of the non-textured polished specimen mainly include abrasive wear and contact fatigue wear generated under alternating contact stress. The wear forms of the surface of the triangular, triangular groove, and semicircular ring textured specimens are mainly abrasive wear and more or less adhesive wear, and cavitation pits are observed on the surface of the triangular groove and semicircular ring specimens.
