Abstract

Surface texturing is used as the quality indicator for the machined surfaces after undergoes manufacturing process. These characteristic is the important factor that effect on several properties such as wear resistance, fatigue strength, coefficient of friction, lubrication, wear rate and corrosion resistance of the machined parts. The texture on the material surface alters the properties itself during sliding conditions which to reduce friction and wear of material. However, it still depends on the pattern or shape of the texture on the surface of material under certain sliding condition. For the design of surface texturing, the surface texture with thousands of micro-dimples used to improve the tribological performance in order to reduce the friction and wear between two sliding material. This research contribute on conduct the simulation and analysis using ANSYS FLUENT and CFD in order to study effect of surface texturing using dimpled texture. In this research, the dimples with a circle and elliptical shape were investigated according to the sets of diameter size with fix depth and dimple density.
