The numerical method is inspired by well-known approaches to facial recognition. Starting from a scaled version of a KS Model to describe surface erosion, a training set of surface profiles is created. Each profile is assigned an appropriate feature in Fourier space and a Singular Value Decomposition is used to determine an orthogonal set of eigenfeatures that allow each profile to be assigned a point in the space of this basis and to determine the distances between them. It turns out that the profiles belonging to different model parameters are clearly separated from each other in this feature space, which enables very good identification. We explain the basic relationships using a synthetic data set and discuss the possibilities for applications to experimental results.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"145 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193470","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}

Although conventional semi-automatic and automatic grinding and polishing processes are efficient and well established, limitations arise for the preparation of large numbers of samples of a hard material such as high-carbon steel, including issues with sample geometry, the need for on-demand sample holders, cost-related limitations, and even considerable human workload and expertise. This study aims to evaluate the use of rotary barrel tumbling—a polishing method that relies on the sliding of abrasive media over the samples’ surface inside a rotating barrel—as an alternative method to prepare the surface of wheel and rail steel samples for pin-on-disc wear testing. A 4-stage tumbling procedure was employed, using different compositions of tumbling media in each stage. Surface roughness and hardness were evaluated throughout the process via 2D and 3D profilometry, microhardness Vickers measurements, and optical microscopy. The proposed method resulted in significant reductions in the surface roughness and hardness of the samples, along with improved homogeneity between samples of different materials and within the same material. These findings suggest that rotary barrel tumbling is an effective alternative method for the surface preparation of pins and discs made of high-carbon steel, enhancing the samples’ suitability for subsequent wear tests.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227677","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 non-Newtonian thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication problem involving rough surfaces with texture has not been investigated to date. In this paper, a model for non-Newtonian thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication incorporating rough surfaces and texture morphology is developed, focusing on the problem of mixed lubrication in planar extrusion with texture. The model builds upon the Reynolds equation with flow factor introduced. It considers the effects of rough surface texture, thermal effects, and non-Newtonian effects. The Reynolds equation is numerically solved using the Semi-System method to calculate the oil film pressure in full film region and contact pressure in dry contact area. The DC-FFT algorithm is employed to calculate surface elastic deformation. Comparing the calculated friction coefficient of the present model with the measured values in literature experiments, the average error is only 6.94%. Furthermore, the study investigates the effects of texture, temperature, and non-Newtonian on interfacial lubrication performance under mixed lubrication conditions. It’s found that compared to untextured surface, the average film thickness of textured surface increased by a maximum of 10.8%, and the friction coefficient decreased by a maximum of 67.4%; Compared to Newtonian fluids, shear thinning fluids reduce temperature by 0.18%, and shear thickening fluids are more conducive to improving mixed lubrication performance. A stepped pit texture is designed based on the dynamic pressure mechanism of the texture, indicating that the circular stepped pit texture has the best load-bearing capacity improvement.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141869049","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 is why the International Standardization's Technical Committee on Geometric Product Specification has updated its standards. Consequently, instrument manufacturers and calibration laboratories need to ensure that their analysis software complies with the new ISO standards. An intercomparison has therefore been carried out to validate surface texture analysis software. Over the past two decades, a number of tests have been conducted on surface texture measurement and analysis methods, including issues of instrument response, discretisation and quantisation. This article examines the numerical and computational aspects of analysis algorithms that process data sets of discrete values of finite floating-point precision as input.

The additional material to make the joint is also a weight reduction factor deemed vital in weight-sensitive industries like aerospace and orthopedic applications. The similar and dissimilar Ti-6Al-3Nb-2Zr-1Mo (Ti6321) and stainless steel (SS 310) joints are performed through friction stir welding. This investigation aims to identify the effect of process parameters on the mechanical behavior and microstructural characteristics of the FSW joints. Five plates are chosen; three are FSW joints, and two are kept in the original base material. In all five plates, tensile, microhardness, and wear tests are performed, including an analysis of grain size. It is observed that the similar Ti6321 joint with a 6 mm pin diameter, 60 mm transverse speed, 900 mm rotational speed, and a constant axial force of 1 KN exhibits a maximum microhardness of 362 HV and a tensile strength of 927 MPa when compared to other joints. The tribological properties are identified as varying load (10–50 N), sliding speed (1–5 m s−1), and a constant sliding distance (1000 m) on pin-on-disc apparatus. It reveals that welding parameters and tool diameter influence tribological characteristics. The surface morphology carried out by FE-SEM revealed that the HAZ is composed of acicular α.

The AA7178 alloy reinforced TiO2 composites were manufactured via stir-casting, with the TiO2 reinforcement levels ranging from 0% to 3% by 1% increments. A uniform distribution of TiO2 nanoparticles(2 wt%) over the Al matrix was shown by scanning electron microscopy analysis. The electrochemical behaviour of the base alloy matrix and surface composites was thoroughly investigated in a solution containing 3.5% sodium chloride utilizing open-circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Research using polarization and EIS showed that the nanocomposites were more resistant to corrosion than the matrix alloy. Subsequent examination indicated that the increased resistance to corrosion observed in the composites containing TiO2 particles might be a result of electrochemical decoupling between the AA7178 matrix alloy and the TiO2 particles. In order to stop the corrosion from spreading, this decoupling action is vital since it protects the TiO2 particles from the matrix alloy. The composite material AA7178/2 wt% TiO2 showed the best corrosion resistance, with ideal values for potential corrosion (−0.20622 V) and current density corrosion (0.00344 mA cm−2). The main causes of corrosion were shown to be pitting and cracking by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study, highlighting the usefulness of TiO2 in reducing these negative impacts.

The study revealed that deposition power impacts the structure and composition of TaN coatings. Further analysis using x-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the TaN coatings predominantly consisted of Ta and N, with trace amounts of oxygen (O 1s). Additionally, nanomechanical testing was conducted to evaluate hardness (H), modulus (E), and scratch properties. Results suggested that multiphase hex-TaN coatings exhibited superior H, E, and scratch properties compared to other cubic-structured TaN coatings. Friction and wear properties against steel balls under dry sliding conditions were determined using a ball-on-disk nanotribometer.
