Tribological behaviors of laser textured surface under different lubrication conditions for rotary compressor

Abstract Tribological behaviors of laser textured surface with elliptical dimples were experimentally compared with that of the smooth one under different lubrication conditions, including the poor-oil, rich-oil and dry lubrication.The lubrication regime was analyzed with the increasing operating load by ring-on-ring tribological tests.Finally, the
