Abstract

This project focus on study the different in surface texturing pattern towards tribological performance. Tribological performance means friction, wear and lubrication. The dry frictional characteristic of a surface textured acrylic disc is investigated. By using laser engraving method, several types of texture pattern are produced on testing specimen. These textured specimens are then run on Pin-on-disc machine to find out its friction and wear performance. Only textured pattern is concern in this project, type of material is not in the scope. Calculations of friction coefficient and wear rate is determined through certain formulas. 3D non-contact profilometer is used to obtain the magnified image of wear track and debris entrapment inside the dimple for further analysis. Coefficient of friction and wear rate is the data that is going to be used to compare tribological performance of different surface texturing.
