Analyzing the Possibility of Using Laser Ablation for Texturing Bearing Steel 100CrMn6 Considering a Tribological Aspect

摘要

The publication analyzes the possibility of applying laser ablation for texturing bearing steel 100CrMn6 considering a tribological aspect. The use of different variants of laser micromachining, including pulsed radiation (λ = 1.064 μm) and the geometric texture of the surface, facilitated with obtaining the characteristic stereometry of the surface with regularly arranged micro-channels of lubrication on the surface of roller bearing steel.
