Reibungsoptimierung durch Gleit- schleifen: Das Einlauf- und Reibverhalten über Topographie einstellen

Abstract

Mass finishing is able to achieve tribological surface optimization through improved surface topography and a modified surface zone structure. The running-in behavior includes both topographical aspects and aspects of the formation of a third body. By means of surface finishing to different levels of roughness, the topographical run-in can be shortened and the formation of the third body can be influenced. Favorable running-in behavior is made possible by conditioning effects, for example in the structure, by a finishing process with a suitable input of frictional energy.
