The quantification of its properties has been a well-established area in quality assurance for many decades. With the increasing demand for precision and interchangeability in the globalised marketplace, the results of surface analysis must be unambiguous and reliable. 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 method of testing texture analysis algorithms utilising software measurement standards (softgauges) and the specification of the test tasks are explained. The results of the comparison are presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614843","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 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 increase in microhardness is higher in WC than in BM due to the uniform distribution of particles.

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. This work illuminates the corrosion behaviour of AA7178/TiO2 nanocomposites and emphasizes the importance of electrochemical decoupling in improving the corrosion resistance of advanced materials.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141523525","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 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. The findings showed that mix-phase TaN coating exhibited a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.054 and a wear rate of 2.14 × 10−6 mm3/N.m.

LAMMPS software is employed to simulate the deposition Cu on an ideal state for a stainless-steel substrate. The deposition process and deformation behavior of Cu on the surface and the roughness of the deposition surface are analyzed. Taking the deposition process of Cu atoms as an object, the effects of different atomic numbers, different temperatures, different velocities, and different heights on the surface roughness of the deposits were investigated. The atomic structure composition of the deposition velocity is analyzed, and the radial distribution function is analyzed to reveal the microscopic mechanism of action. The results of the theoretical deposition and analysis show that the surface roughness increases with the number of atoms deposited and decreases with increasing substrate temperature. The surface roughness first decreases and then, after some fluctuation, stays constant at a particular level with increasing velocity. Additionally, as the deposition height increases, the surface roughness reduces. There is a nonlinear relationship between the various components and the deposited surface roughness. The surface quality of deposits can be improved during the deposition process by optimizing the deposition parameters of deposition atoms, substrate temperature, deposition velocity, and deposition height.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509363","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 this context, the characterization of HTC produced from organic sources at low cost and in a short time was performed, and its tribological performance was analysed in detail. HTC produced by the hydrothermal carbonization method was characterized through SEM images and EDS analysis. To determine the effect of HTC on friction at different temperatures, HTC was subjected to a pin-on-disc wear test with AA5754 material. The effect of various lubricants, temperatures, blank holder pressure, and forming speed parameters on the forming force for the analysis of the tribological effect of HTC on deep drawing processes were statistically analysed. The performance of HTC was compared with Teflon, fullerenes, graphene, and carbon nanotube (CNT) materials. According to the results obtained from wear tests, the lowest friction coefficient value was achieved in the presence of fullerenes as the lubricant, and as the temperature increased, the friction coefficient decreased. It was observed that HTC exhibited lower performance in the wear test compared to fullerenes due to oxidation. When the effect of deep drawing parameters on the forming force was analysed, it was concluded that the most effective parameters were temperature (72.32%) and lubricant (20.89%). According to the S/N analysis results, the minimum forming force was obtained under the conditions of solid Teflon lubricant, 250 °C temperature, 15-bar blank holder pressure, and 2 mm/s forming speed. The tribological performance difference between HTC and Teflon is at the 1% level.

It was found that the leakage rate is negatively correlated with contact pressure. Orientation of surface topography affects the leakage, where the grinding scar parallel to the leakage direction contributes to the leakage, and the perpendicular grinding scar has an inhibiting effect. The leakage rate of irregular and discontinuous surface topography is lower than that of regular ones, and it increases with increasing surface roughness.
