We compare the potential of Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures and Laser Beam Interference Ablation on 100Cr6 steel in a linear reciprocating ball-on-disc configuration using 100Cr6 steel and tungsten carbide balls with load forces between 50mN and 1000 mN. For dry friction, we find a possibility to reduce the coefficient of friction and we observe a pronounced direction dependency for surfaces fabricated by Laser Beam Interference Ablation. Furthermore, Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures result in a load-dependent friction reduction for lubricated linear reciprocating movements.

The advanced approach of this study is the measurement of the coefficient of friction by performing a ball-on-disk Stribeck test on laser structured surfaces with polytetrafluoroethylene balls in a lubricant environment. The Stribeck test reveals the modified friction behavior using translation speeds up to 106 mm/min and load forces between 100 mN and 5000 mN. Our results show increased stiction and coefficient of friction for laser structured surfaces in the regime of boundary lubrication which is attributed to the laser induced surface asperities. Decreased coefficient of friction is observed in the regime of mixed and hydrodynamic lubrication, i.e. for velocities higher than 1000 mm/min, for surfaces covered by laser induced periodic surface structures with low spatial frequency.}, subject = {Laser}, language = {en} } @article{SchwarzRungHellmann2016, author = {Schwarz, Simon and Rung, Stefan and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Generation of

For all applications, the creation of aligning layers possessing controllable characteristics such as azimuthal and polar anchoring energies, easy-axis of director alignment and pretilt angle, in the same way as it is achieved by using photoaligning layers processed by light, is very important. Here, aligning properties of hybrid aligning layers created on the basis of sapphire surfaces additionally coated by photoaligning layer of PVCN-F are studied. These hybrid layers possess the properties of the nano-structured sapphire layer and the photosensitive PVCN-F layer, and complement each other. The irradiation time dependence of the azimuthal anchoring energy of the hybrid layers is studied. By using certain experimental conditions during irradiation of hybrid layers, e.g., polarization of light and irradiation time, a minimum value of the azimuthal anchoring energy, close to zero, was obtained. Atomic force microscope studies of the irradiated hybrid layers were also carried out. It was found that the behavior of the contact angle of nematic droplets placed on treated sapphire surfaces are in good agreement with properties of hybrid aligning layers and parameters of structuring surface obtained from AFM images.}, subject = {Fl{\"u}ssigkristall}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{LutzSchwarzRungetal.2021, author = {Lutz, Christian and Schwarz, Simon and Rung, Stefan and Marx, Jan and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Optical system for multi Bessel beam high power ultrashort pulsed laser processing using a spatial light modulator}, series = {Lasers in Manufacturing - LiM 2021}, booktitle = {Lasers in Manufacturing - LiM 2021}, year = {2021}, abstract = {We report on an optical setup for multi Bessel beam processing combining a refractive axicon and a spatial light modulator.
