Evolution of the True Contact Area of Laser Textured Tungsten Under Dry Sliding Conditions

Despite the great importance of the real contact area, it is a parameter which, depending on the tribological system, is difficult or impossible to obtain experimentally. In this work, a combination of methods was used to estimate the development of the real contact surface, and the results were com...
