Abstract
AbstractThis study experimentally investigates the influence of cavitation effect caused by surface texture on the lubrication performance of friction pairs. In order to verify and research the cavitation phenomenon induced by surface texture, cavitation images are collected by visual experimental apparatus. The results show that the surface texture will induce the cavitation of the lubricating oil under certain speed and load conditions, gas bubbles will be generated at the outlet of the dimples, and the cavitation will affect the lubrication performance of the friction pair. When the texture depth is close to the oil film thickness, it has the best effect in terms of inducing cavitation and promoting lubrication. And it is found in the experiments when area density of texture is 8% and the square dimples are arranged at inlet area of the sample, the best effect of the surface texture can be obtained.
