Popis: To enhance the friction and wear resistance of GCr15/PTFE sliding contact surfaces, the synergistic lubrication effect of micro-textures and solid lubricants were studied in this paper. Micro-textures were processed on GCr15 samples by Nd:YAG laser, which were filled with MoS2. Tribological performance tests were carried out on a Rtec-MFT 5000 tester. Tribological properties were optimal with the textures density of 20% and depth of 9 µm. A continuous composite solid lubricating film was formed by PTFE and MoS2. As load increases, friction coefficient of the sample shows a rapid decline and then stabilizes. With the increase of reciprocating frequency, friction curve of the sample shows a trend of slight fluctuation. When frequency is 2.7 Hz, friction coefficient is the lowest. Tribological properties of PTFE/GCr15 contact surfaces could be significantly optimized by micro-textures and MoS2, which performs favorable prospect of engineering application such as guide rails, bearings, machinery seal, etc.
