Surface texture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surface Texture or Surface Topography is the local deviations of a surface from a perfectly flat plane. The measure of the surface texture is generally determined in terms of its roughness, waviness and form [1].

Surface texture is one of the important factors that control friction and transfer layer formation during sliding [2]. Surface Textures can be isotropic or anisotropic [2, 3]. Sometimes, stick-slip friction phenomena can be observed during sliding depending on surface texture [4-6].

There are many ways to produce surface textures. They include grinding, polishing, cutting, lapping, blasting, honing, electric discharge machining (EDM), milling, lithography and laser texturing. Surface textures are usually characterized in terms of roughness parameters using a profilometer [7, 8].

Considerable efforts have been made to study the influence of surface texture on friction and wear during sliding conditions [10, 11].
