Tribological Analysis of Laser-Textured WC-Co Against Ti6Al4V Under Dry and Lubricated Conditions for Different Sliding Times by Javier Garcia-Fernandez, Moises Batista, Juan Manuel Vazquez-Martinez, Jorge Salguero, Irene Del Sol, Magdalena Ramirez-Peña

“…To address this issue, the texturing of cutting tools, especially using laser-based techniques, has garnered significant attention due to its potential to enhance the tribological performance of textured surfaces. In this paper, by means of a groove design applied to a tungsten carbide (WC) disc by laser surface texturing (LST), its behavior and wear have been evaluated after subjecting it to tribological pin-on-flat tests by confronting it with Ti6Al4V pins with different reciprocating times (250 s, 500 s, 750 s and 1000 s) in lubricated and dry conditions. …”
