Tribological effects of structured and densified surfaces

Research funding project
The process of densification of surfaces is a technological option, which opens several aspects of surface treatment and should offer new design possibilities regarding tribological relevant surface features. Two functional effects stand out; namely the improvement of surface quality and the optimization of the mechanical and dynamic properties of material surfaces and the interface of tribosystems. The process of mechanical deformation and increasing the density of metallic surfaces should be investigated and further developed based on the determined tool-workpiece interactions on the one hand and by the generated friction and wear mechanisms on the other. In addition, detailed investigations are carried out, with the resulting friction and wear effects of the actuator itself and with the effect of the actuator (tool tip) to shape materials, particularly metals and metal alloys.
