In the present research, three different types of tool pin profiles, namely, hybrid, taper threaded, and triangular, were used to join 2050-T84 Al-Li alloy by using Friction Stir Welding (FSW) at a constant rotational speed of 23.33 rotation/second with a traverse speed of 0.003 meters per second and tilt angle of 2°. The research explored the effect of different tools on weld bead structure, waviness and natural frequency of welded plates. The experimental results show that the hybrid tool pin side generates 10.9% higher heat than the threaded taper tool and 25.8% higher than the triangular tool. Moreover, the hybrid tool produces 50.1% lower waviness of welded specimens than the threaded taper tool and 55.7% lower than the triangular tool at the nugget zone (NZ). The research established that a hybrid tool pin profile is advantageous as it generates a higher frequency and lower acceleration under the applied load in friction stir welded specimens.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"160 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79852726","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}

This study has aimed to evaluate the effects of toothbrushing on the wear behavior of two composites, three ceramic materials, and ceramic/composite interfaces. Material and Methods. Nanofilled (Filtek Ultimate), and nanohybrid composites (Spectra ST HV) were used for the repair of a hybrid ceramic (Vita Enamic), resin nanoceramic (Katana Avencia), and zirconia block (Katana Zirconia). Composites, ceramics, and ceramic/composite interfaces were examined before and after a period of one-month and one-year of toothbrush abrasion testing using non-contact optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni correction. The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results. No difference was found between the surface roughness of the Vita Enamic, Katana Avencia, Filtek Ultimate, and Spectra surfaces after one month and one year of toothbrushing. Sa values in Katana Zirconia material were found to be significantly lower than those in the control group after one year of brushing. The surface roughness of the repair interfaces formed by repairing hybrid ceramic and resin nanoceramic CAD/CAM materials with nanofilled and nanohybrid composite materials was found to be similar after different brushing times. Conclusion. Vita Enamic, Katana Avencia, Filtek Ultimate, and Spectra materials can be preferred in clinical repair applications, since they exhibit similar wear behavior after brushing at different times. For the zirconia material, the repair interface had similar surface roughness as the ceramic and composite surfaces after one year of brushing. Periodic recalls and re-polishing may thus be necessary when these products are used clinically.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75287412","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 improve the surface quality of laser-assisted fast tool servo machining optical free-form surface of glass-ceramic, the effects of spindle speed, feed speed, piezoelectric frequency and laser power on the surface roughness were investigated. Firstly, the Taguchi method (TM) was used to establish the orthogonal experiment, and the contribution rate of each machining parameter to the surface roughness was obtained through variance and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) analysis. The order of the influence degree of each parameter on the surface roughness is as follows: laser power > spindle speed > feed speed > piezoelectric frequency. The optimal machining parameter combinations obtained for the TM experiment are as follows: spindle speed 50 rpm, feed speed 0.01 mm rev−1, piezoelectric frequency 8 Hz, laser power 75 W. The range of surface roughness reduction obtained by comparing laser-assisted machining (LAM) with pure fast tool servo (FTS) machining is 38.75%∼58.77%. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) in response surface methodology (RSM) was used to design experiments and a regression model for surface roughness was established through RSM. The deviation between the surface roughness predicted by the regression equation and the experimental value is less than ±6%. The influence law of various machining parameters on surface roughness was studied through three-dimensional response surface. RSM optimized the minimum surface roughness with a desirability of 99.43%. The optimal combination of machining parameters optimized through RSM is as follows: spindle speed 53.71 rpm, feed speed 0.02 mm rev−1, piezoelectric frequency 6.73 Hz, laser power 72 W. This paper is the first to combine LAM with FTS for machining optical free-form surface of glass-ceramic.

Owing to the plasma treatment of Si wafers, the surface roughness of Si wafers was significantly reduced, and the bonded Si-Si samples had lower interfacial voidage. The average bonding strength of 11.46 MPa for the argon plasma pretreated Si-Si bonded samples is much higher than the bonding strength of 4.23 MPa for the unpretreated Si-Si bonded samples. The analysis of the fractured surface revealed that the fracture of the Si-Si bonded samples without argon plasma treatment occurred mainly at the Mo/Si interface, while the fracture of the plasma-treated Si-Si bonded samples arose mainly within the bulk Si. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suggest that strong atomic diffusion takes place at the Mo/Au interface, while Mo atoms hardly diffuse into the bulk Si. These results indicate that argon plasma pretreatment not only cleans and activates the Si wafer surface but also makes the Si wafer surface smooth, which helps to enhance the deposited Mo/Au film quality and the adhesion between the Mo film and the Si wafer.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74113044","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 mass losses were measured via a precision scale. According to the results, the boron nanoparticles have increased the epoxy specimens’ resistance. As a result of the experimental studies, it was observed that the wear resistance of the epoxy composite increased with each nano-sized powder added to the epoxy.

Apart from performing multi-scale measurements of the surface topography, it also requires the use of proper statistical estimators for the analysis of such topography maps. Moreover, when dealing with light scattering in the visible spectral range, the scale at which the estimators of local topography properties are defined is extremely important. Here we present a multi-scale and statistical study of the surface topography of blasted aluminum samples which all have rather different visual appearance. Various statistical estimators of surface topography are examined, including estimators related to the height distribution, the lateral correlation and local topology. The combination of these various estimators unveils a scale separation between a micro-scale roughness inherited from the initial cold-rolled aluminum surface and a large scale roughness fully controlled by the blasting process. A special emphasis is given to the crucial importance of length scales in the estimation of local slopes. The present analysis establishes a quantitative link between the statistical properties of the surface topography and the blasting process used to fabricate the samples.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78927304","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}
