Abstract

An ever increasing mobility and a shortage of resources lead to restrictive politically driven limits for fuel consumption as well as an increasing demand of customers for efficient vehicles. Though electrification of cars proceeds, combustion engines will play an important role for conventional and hybrid concepts within next decades. Thus, for a contribution to increasing energy efficiency of vehicles it is vital to trace sources of friction losses and to identify possibilities for friction reduction in combustion engines. Therefore, the follower as a main contributor to friction losses in valve trains was chosen as a demonstrator for friction reduction effects by microstructured components. However, the realization of theoretically advantageous microstructures with filigree geometries is challenging for manufacturing technologies. The present study focuses on the elaboration of a technological basis for a repeatable production of components with microstructured surfaces by a combined cup backward extrusion micro coining process, coping with the demands of large-lot production. For realization of a high accuracy the influence of friction on geometry of microstructured components was investigated. In addition, running-in of components is decisive for final geometry and tribological behavior of microstructured surfaces and hence considered as well.
