... of interfacial friction in manufacturing processes, few experimental investigations have been performed to analyze the metallic sliding friction between a hard spherical asperity and a softer deformable surface. The few existing analytical models that have been performed are based on the assumptions of rigid...

... size and material properties, disk spinning speed, disk radius, surface tension and contact angle have significant effects on the spin-off ratio, while lubricant thickness and disk surface roughness have little effect. The manufacturing process and material used to produce a disk also affect how well...
