Friction control is a vital green technology for reaching sustainable development goals, and surface texturing is effective and efficient at reducing friction. In this study, a novel preparation scheme involving dimpled groove texture is proposed. A pulsed laser marking system is used to make the dimpled grooves. Due to the unique design and process to make the proposed texture, texturing time can be greatly minimized compared to the conventional micro-groove texture technology. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model that considers the dimple surface angle is employed to aid the design of the texture and to predict the performance of the texture under certain conditions. Reciprocating sliding tests are preformed to evaluate the effects of the texture on friction reduction. Textures with different densities are used in the experiments. The results suggest that the dimpled groove reduces the coefficient of friction by 6% with less density distribution on the sample surface; nevertheless, denser densities may reverse the result. The simulation results suggest that the texture may perform better under pressure of the lubricant film in hydrodynamic conditions.
