5. Conclusions
- (1)
- Micro-LSP treatment significantly increased the surface roughness of the specimen due to laser ablation. Periodically arranged dimpled structures were formed on the surface, and the depth of the structure was strongly influenced by the different pulse energies. Large energies produced thermal effects that caused the surface to lose its metallic luster, and produced a thick remelted oxide layer.
- (2)
- After the Micro-LSP treatment, the surface microhardness increased, from a maximum of 827 HV0.5 to 1228 HV0.5, an increase of approximately 50%. The hardness was distributed in a gradient along the depth direction. The maximum impact range was approximately 600 μm.
- (3)
- After strengthening, the COF was reduced from 0.56 to approximately 0.5 at maximum, a reduction of 12%. The abrasion depth was reduced from a maximum of 5.2 μm to 3.8 μm, a reduction of approximately 25%.
- (4)
- The Micro-LSP treatment increased the wear resistance of the material by approximately 50% to 70%. This was probably due to the combined effect of the introduction of a dimpled structure onto the surface, and the hardening layer. The dimpled structure reduced the COF by reducing the contact area and storing abrasive chips. The gradient hardening layer continuously resisted wear and tear to keep the COF stable.
