Abstract
A process for producing an enhanced friction reducing surface by bonding a dry lubricant to a substrate by way of high velocity mechanical impact and low temperature diffusion bonding, and the friction-reduced surface produced thereby. A process for bonding the dry lubricant by peening and concurrently obtaining a desired dimpling or surface texturizing by appropriate selection of peening particle size and hardness relative to the substrate, as well as impact velocity against the substrate, is also provided.
