Abstract
A method for lubricating a surface of an object comprises generating and directing a laser beam to strike the surface of the object to create an oxide area on the surface struck by the laser beam; and applying a dry film lubricant to the oxide area.
Claims21
A method for lubricating a surface of an object, the method comprising:
- generating and directing a laser beam to strike the surface of the object to create an oxide area on the surface struck by the laser beam;
- and
- applying a dry film lubricant in a powder form to the oxide area.
A method for lubricating a surface of an object, the method comprising:
- generating and directing a laser beam to strike the surface of the object to create an oxide area on the surface struck by the laser beam, wherein the laser beam is generated to have a wavelength ranging from approximately 700 nanometers to approximately 1400 nanometers and to have an average power ranging from approximately 5 Watts to approximately 30 watts;
- and
- applying a dry film lubricant including molybdenum disulfide in a powder form to the oxide area.
A system for lubricating a surface of an object, the system comprising:
- a laser system configured to generate and direct a laser beam to strike the surface of the object to create an oxide area on the surface struck by the laser beam;
- and
- a dry film lubricant in a powder form configured to be applied to the oxide area.
