Abstract:The effect of the coupling texture on the friction and wear of a piston rod-rubber seal pair under lubricating conditions is studied in this paper. Crescentiform textures with different area densities were fabricated on high carbon chromium bearing steel (GCr15) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) materials by using a laser marking machine. We compare and analyze the effects of untextured, single-textured, and coupling-textured surfaces on the friction characteristics of the piston rod-rubber seal pair… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
