These environments place stringent requirements on the fatigue life, friction and wear, and surface strength of materials. Therefore, this study aims to deeply explore the surface mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) alloy after machine hammer peening (MHP) treatment. By conducting experiments on TC4 alloys treated with different hammering energies, the changes in surface hardness, morphology, roughness, tensile properties, and friction properties were analyzed, and the strengthening mechanism of MHP was discussed. Experimental results show that MHP treatment can effectively improve the surface properties of TC4. With the increase of hammer energy, due to the double-sided hammering of the plate, the microhardness first increases, then decreases, and then rises again. The tensile strength and yield strength of the sample increase slightly, but the elongation at break decreases. The surface roughness of the sample increases first and then decreases. Similarly, after MHP treatment, the wear resistance of the samples increased, the friction coefficient decreased, and the wear amount and surface height difference showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. The wear mechanism mainly included adhesive wear, abrasive wear and fatigue wear.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To comprehensively understand the interaction between the lubrication and wear characteristics of the rough tooth surfaces of helical gears, this study established a mixed lubrication sliding wear calculation model for helical gears based on the mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication model and Archard’s model. Specifically, the study aimed to examine the effects of surface topography features on average film thickness, contact area ratio, and accumulated wear at the meshing point. The findings demonstrated that the texture and power spectral density distributions of a non-Gaussian reconstructed surface closely resembled those of the actual ground surface. Furthermore, for non-Gaussian rough surfaces, a larger wavelength ratio enhanced microwedge motion, which increased film thickness and reduced wear. Additionally, a negatively skewed surface demonstrated better lubrication performance compared to both positively skewed and Gaussian surfaces. This improved performance is evident in the smaller contact area ratio and lower accumulated wear value of the negatively skewed surface.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the defect formation and void generation during the manufacturing of copper alloy parts using (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) LPBF technique, the wear resistance of the copper alloy was significantly affected. Hence, the prime novelty of the current research is enhancing wear resistance by analyzing the interaction of combined LPBF parameters. In order to decrease cavity forms and reduce the wear rate of the printed Cu alloy components, the important LPBF process parameters such as Scan Velocity (SV) of 550, 750, and 950 mm s−1, Laser Power (LP) of 460, 540, and 620 W, and Re-melting Range (RR) of 5, 25, and 45% were selected and studied. The results of the experimental investigation were supported by the use of Grey Relation Analysis (GRA). A comparative study was conducted with five distinct parameter combinations to investigate the relative influence of each parameter on the relative density, wear rate and elastic modulus. The research findings verify that the application of optimal SV of 750 mm s−1 and RR of 45% with maximum LP of 460 W resulted in the maximum relative density of 99.91%, minimal wear rate of 0.52 × 10−5 mm3/Nm, and maximum elastic modulus of 140.22 GPa.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"2012 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The line laser beam is controlled to scan the surface with the predefined angular speed while a stationary imaging unit captures images. An image fusion strategy has been proposed to construct grating images with a constant phase shift, which facilitates full-field phase shifting in determination of the structural profile. The accuracy of the measurement method is discussed and compared with a commercial 3D laser scanner. The proposed technique has also been applied to the surface topography of the wind turbine blades.

Today, there is no universal reference method for validating parameter compliance and more specifically with regard to material ratio parameters, Rk parameters, and volume parameters that are based on the Abbott curve. Several years ago, at Digital Surf, we developed parameter validation methods that are based on mathematics. A mathematical softgauge, defined by an equation, is injected through the mathematical parameter definition, to obtain a mathematical true value of the parameter value. In a parallel path, a discrete softgauge, derived from the mathematical softgauge, is injected through an algorithm and the resulting value is compared to the approximated true value. This method makes it possible to check the accuracy of an algorithm for calculating a particular parameter. For this study, two families of mathematical softgauges were specifically designed to test material ratio parameters. More precisely, the two main goals of this study are, (1) to advocate an algorithm validation approach that is independent from any software implementation, and (2) to obtain true values for all parameters based on the Abbott curve.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance the properties of the MAO layer, titanium carbide (TiC) particles were added to the electrolyte of a phosphate–silicate system as an additive. Consequently, the MAO layers containing the TiC phase on Ti6Al4V alloy were produced. The MAO process, composition, microstructure, and hardness of the MAO layer were comprehensively analyzed. Their frictional performance was assessed under reciprocating friction conditions without lubrication. The findings suggested that added TiC particles in the electrolyte played a significant role in creating the MAO layer, enhancing its thickness. The electrolyte without TiC particles produced an MAO layer primarily composed of TiO₂ in two different mineral forms (rutile and anatase). Adding TiC particles resulted in the presence of TiC within the MAO layer, thereby facilitating the formation of a reinforced oxide layer. This addition also led to an improvement in the densification of the layer and a reduction in porosity. Notably, corrosion resistance testing indicated that incorporating 6 g l⁻¹ TiC into the electrolyte resulted in superior performance compared with that obtained from the base electrolyte alone by achieving 1.4 times higher corrosion resistance. Moreover, a hardness value of 690 HV for the MAO layer was attained at a content level of 9 g l⁻¹ TiC, demonstrating a significant 65% enhancement compared to the base oxide layer. This finding also demonstrated significantly enhanced friction property with a wear-volume reduction to 0.81 mm³. The findings on the relationship between the preparation of the MAO layer and its structure and properties can provide valuable guidance for designing and preparing the MAO layer.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The numerical model simultaneously solves the Reynolds equation with mass-conserving cavitation to calculate inter-asperity hydrodynamic pressures and an elastic, perfectly plastic, rough contact model to determine contact pressures at each asperity interaction. Gaussian Mixture Model clustering was employed to enhance surface characterization. The deterministic simulation approach considers the full-scale representation of the cylinder liner topography to accurately capture the influence of surface features on the hydrodynamic support and friction under mixed lubrication conditions. The investigated cylinder liners were initially hard-chrome-coated and honed, resulting in a stochastic arrangement of surface pores, and then deterministic patterns of surface pockets were created by micro electrodischarge machining (EDM). Surface measurements were performed using laser interferometry, providing input for the mixed lubrication simulations. The study also explored the virtual removal of ridges formed around the pockets by the EDM technique. Key findings indicate that the stochastic texture outperformed the hybrid texture (stochastic + deterministic) in the boundary and mixed lubrication regimes, showing higher hydrodynamic support at low separations but increased hydrodynamic shear stresses at higher speeds. Conversely, deterministic textures exhibited a significant decrease in average hydrodynamic shear stress at high velocities. These results highlight the critical role of surface texture in tribological behavior and suggest that localized textures on cylinder liners can potentially optimize engine performance. The study recommends further exploration of a broader range of texture geometries, densities, and distribution patterns to enhance engine design strategies.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to understand the lubricating performance of SnO₂ nanoparticles as additives, the current study investigates the effects of the addition of SnO₂ nanoparticles on the tribological properties of poly-alpha-olefin 6 base oil. The dual-step method is utilized to disperse the SnO₂ nanoparticles in base oil with oleic acid as surfactant. The shape and size of SnO₂ nanoparticles are confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, and the dispersion stability of SnO₂ nanoparticles is examined by dynamic light scattering tests. The lubricating properties of SnO₂ nanofluids are explored on a universal mechanical tribometer with a ball-on-plate reciprocating sliding configuration. It is found that the SnO₂ nanofluids show good stability and dispersibility. The addition of SnO₂ nanoparticles decreases the friction and wear for steel-steel tribo-pairs. The positive effects on friction and wear reductions become more significant with increasing concentrations of SnO₂ nanoparticles. In this work, nanofluids containing the 5wt% SnO₂ nanoparticles and 5wt% oleic acid is considered as the optimum composition, which shows the best lubricating performance with the reductions of 13.8% in coefficient of friction and 41.4% in wear volume loss. After observing the wear tracks by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer and a white-light interferometer, it is shown that the wear mechanisms are dominated by abrasive wear and adhesive wear. The enhancement in tribological properties of base oil is attributed to the formation of SnO₂ tribo-film and oleic acid tribo-layer which reduces the shearing resistance, separates the mating areas and withstands the loads. The findings obtained in this study can be used as references in the development of high-performance nanofluids.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"405 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Earlier kinds of multiscale characterization, like relative area, required specialized software performing multiple triangular tiling exercises. Multiscale regression analyses can test strengths of functional correlations over a range of scales. Here, friction coefficients are regressed against standard surface texture parameters over the range of scales available in a measurement. Correlation strengths trend with the scales of the bandpass filters. Using bandpass frequency, i.e., wavelength or scale, decompositions, the R² at 25 μm, exceeds 0.9 for Sa compared with an R² of only 0.2 using the broader band of conventional roughness filtering.
