Abstract
Abstract Tribology is a multidisciplinary science of interacting surfaces in relative motion and deals primarily with the friction, wear and lubrication of the surfaces are in contact. The fundamental principle of tribology is behind the functioning of brakes, bearings, and cutting tools. Stainless steel type 316L is material widely used for medical implant purpose and other industrial applications due to its good corrosion properties. The main problem encountered in this material is poor wear resistance. Surface texturing is a renowned and effective means of surface modification technique to improve the tribological properties of sliding surfaces. Different shapes of dimples on pin were made to analyze the dimple performance and best performing dimple shape is selected under static and dynamic conditions. Stainless steel (316L) considered as pin which act as slave surface and D2 steel as counterpart which act as master surface. Pin on Disc experimental setup were simulated using finite element software ABAQUS®.
