Experimental investigation on the effect of masked multiple passes abrasive waterjet machining surface texturing on coefficient of friction by Hafiz, Husin, Mohd Nazir, Mat Nawi, Asmelash, Mebrahitom Asmelash, Kushendarsyah, Saptaji, Azmir, Azhari

“…The texture was applied on the surface of stainless steel by masked multi-passes AWJM technique. According to the findings, there is less friction in craters with greater densities because there are more craters in the contact zone, which improves the trapping of debris particles and reduces friction, when the crater density rises from 4% to 18%, there is a greater chance of worn debris becoming trapped, which reduces friction. …”
