The mechanistic link between microstructural evolution and dynamic erosion is studied through experiments combined with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. Results show that the reconstructed SnO<sub>2</sub> skeleton endowed with a highly continuous and anisotropic ‘flowering'-like structure forms a continuous interpenetrating network with Ag, optimizing the conductive pathways on the molten pool surface. Additionally, the Ag-rich regions in the deeper layers on both sides of the molten pool offers a stable ‘nutrient-supply’ for the continuous ‘flowering’ reconstruction of the skeleton, exhibiting excellent <em>in-situ</em> self-repairing erosion resistance. Benefiting from this synergistic strategy, this skeleton is reconstructed based on its natural structure, which further disperses the stress and deformation concentration while inhibiting interfacial debonding, thereby reducing the formation of cracks and significantly enhancing the impact resistance.
