Notes:
Laser surface texturing (LST) technology that is firstly used in rollers, is a specializedsurface engineering process capable of enhancing the surface material properties, wear resistance,fretting fatigue life and reducing friction. This practical technology of the LST process is based on apulsating laser beam that, by material ablation, generates the optimum topographical surface. In orderto exploit the full potential of the process, a great amount of research has explored from the materialremoval mechanics to the development of the LST process. This paper reports on the LST researchinvolving the LST technology surveying process optimization, LST equipment and its industrialapplications. The paper also highlights the forming theory describing the skin-pass process oftransferring the textured roller’s surface structure onto the steel sheet, and the laser-matter interactionthat occurs when and intense laser beam is tightly focused in the workpiece surface. It presents theinfluence of various factors affecting the textured workpiece performance together with theinvestigations into tribology of textured components. The paper also discusses these developmentsand some fundamental on future LST research
