TLDR
In this paper, an optimum surface texture pattern was selected to improve the load carrying capacity of SiC bearing working in water, where micro-pits, evenly distributed in a square array, were selected as the texture pattern, and formed on one of the contact surfaces by reactive ion etching.About:

State of the Art in Laser Surface Texturing
TL;DR: Laser Surface Texturing (LST) is probably the most advanced surface texturing technique as mentioned in this paper and it produces a very large number of micro-dimples on the surface and each of these microdimples can serve either as a micro-hydrodynamic bearing in cases of full or mixed lubrication.

Influence of surface texture on boundary lubricated sliding contacts
TL;DR: The friction and wear behavior of boundary lubricated sliding surfaces is influenced by the surface texture as mentioned in this paper, by introducing controlled depressions and undulations in an otherwise flat surface, the...
