Friction is one of the main causes of mechanical component failure and material waste. It is known from the friction theory that changing the roughness of the surface of the material can change the friction property of the material. Laser surface texturing is a good method for constructing a rough surface. In the experiment, the texture of the circular pits with different areal densities was constructed on the nickel surface. The coefficient of friction of the circular pit under the water-lubricated friction condition was kept at about 0.17, while the untreated metal nickel under the same conditions exceeds 0.65. The circular pit texture improves the frictional properties of the nickel surface.
