AB Surface texturing is used in many applications to control the friction and wear behaviour ofmechanical components. The benefits of texture design on the tribological behaviour of conformalsurfaces are well known. However, there is a big dependency between the geometrical features ofthe texture and the texture’s performance. In this paper, the effect of laser texturing parameters ontextured geometrical features is studied, as well as its role in the tribological behaviour of AISI 630steel under lubrication and high-contact pressure conditions. The results show a linear impact of theenergy density on the surface quality, whereas the scanning speed influences the homogeneity ofthe sample. Nevertheless, the surface integrity is also affected by the laser parameters, reducing themicro-hardness on the textured area by up to 33%. Friction coefficient average values and stabilitypresented high variations depending on the sample parameters. Finally, the wear mechanisms wereanalysed, detecting abrasion for the disc and adhesion for the pin
