N2 - The investigation of tribological performance occurring between polished and structured surfaces is the core for understanding frictional mechanisms. Finite element method (FEM) is a simple, efficient and economical approach to study friction performance of microstructured surface. In this paper two dimensional finite element simulation with hardened steel (1.2379) structured workpieces and aluminium counterparts are reported which are supported by tribological experiments. Three samples exhibiting different micro structured surfaces with pitch between two structures (20μm, 25μm and 65.2μm) are simulated by Abaqus. And the depth of structures is kept constant. The result is evaluated by the coefficient of friction, which is calculated by contact reaction force, obtained from the simulation results. Furthermore, the stress distribution of the workpiece is visualized. The results show that the structured surfaces is beneficial to reduce coefficient of friction in simulation tests and been confirmed by experiments.
