The tissue morphology, microstructure, surface hardness, surface strength and corrosion resistance of the generated surface nanolayers were systematically characterized using x-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the corresponding test methods. The results showed that the USSP treatment did not change the surface phase of Cu-8Cr alloy, but only refined the surface grains into nanocrystals. The pellet size and shot peening time had a large effect on the surface properties of Cu-8Cr alloy. The best overall surface properties were obtained with a shot size of 2 mm and a shot time of 30 min The average grain size of the nano-layer is about 66 nm, the surface hardness is increased to 126.69 HV0.05, the tensile strength reached 417 MPa, and the corrosion resistance of the alloy is significantly enhanced. The USSP treatment provides a new method for the preparation of CuCr alloys with excellent surface properties.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89316324","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 focuses on achieving an optimal combination of wear and friction, aligning with the goals of green technology. The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methodology is used to rank the characteristics, while the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Interference System (ANFIS) methodology is employed to model the friction and wear behavior of the brake pad-disc system under varying normal loads and sliding speeds. At a normal load of 100 N and a sliding speed of 0.73 m s−1 under dry conditions, the brake system exhibited a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.2066 and a specific wear rate of 7.93 × 10−6 mm3 N−1-m−1. Although, there was no specific correlation found between frictional power and specific wear rate, a higher load of 100 N and sliding speed of 2.71 m s−1 resulted in decrease in specific wear rate by 83% when compared to that of untextured brake discs. By applying brake oil to the laser-textured boundary, the coefficient of friction experienced a 31% reduction.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73467342","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 ratio is then normalized across all the profiles leading to a polar plot that varies between 0 and 1, with the major orientation appearing at a value of 1.

Humphreys, Carolanne Allen","doi":"10.1088/2051-672X/acdc3e","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2051-672X/acdc3e","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of this study was to investigate the effects prosthesis relevant surfaces and finishes have on the formation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) biofilms, the leading causative pathogenic bacteria of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Microbiological biofilm analysis was conducted to quantify S. aureus biofilm growth on prosthesis relevant surface coatings and finishes. Through the use of a CDC Biofilm Reactor (CDC-BR), biofilms were grown under constant shear conditions on three different titanium surface finishes, including Plasma Spray (PS), Grit Blasted (GB) and an As-fabricated (AF) surface used for comparative and control purposes. Advanced metrological techniques were applied to characterise each surface. This advanced approach to surface characterisation, including functional volume parameters has been carried out to provide a detailed quantifiable description of the surface and one that better relates to the nature of growth upon a surface. Results show that the PS surface exhibits a significant increase in biofilm growth in comparison to the GB and AF surfaces, with the AF surface showing the lowest amount of biofilm growth. Additionally, the morphology of the features of the PS coating allows for the biofilm accumulation to flourish in the re-entrant features across its topography. These findings highlight the difficulties of biofilm eradication and further complicate the design process of prosthetics, where features implemented to promote osseointegration simultaneously offer favourable locations for bacterial cell attachment and subsequent biofilm development, leading potentially, to PJI. There is a general consensus throughout literature regarding an apparent trend between an increase in Sa and an increase in biofilm formation (Zheng et al 2021 Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology 9 643722; Bridgens et al 2015 Surface and Coatings Technology 284; James et al 2019 Aesthetic Plast.

One key aspect is the surface quality of the contacting bodies—among other factors such as material selection, contact geometry, etc. In this work, we evaluated the influence on electrical contact resistance (ECR) of a smooth copper-based surface (brass, bronze, and tin-plated copper) when contacted against surfaces with different degrees of roughness. Furthermore, a carbon nanotube (CNT) coating was proposed with the goal of mitigating the topography-induced influence of the textured counter electrodes. The electrodes and counter electrodes were thoroughly characterized to understand the contacting mechanisms through numerical modeling,—namely, Greenwood-Williamson and Jackson-Green models—as well as using a practical-oriented slope analysis. Load-dependent ECR measurements were carried out to quantify the effect of roughness on contact resistance. When contacting against brass and bronze, a clear correlation between roughness and ECR can be established, with higher roughness equating to lower ECR In tin-plated copper, on the other hand, this hierarchy is not as well defined due to the ease with which the tin plating deforms, thus enabling the penetration of outstanding asperities and consequently establishing a better electrical contact. CNT-coated counter electrodes showed promising results, partially confirming the hypothesis proposed. However, unforeseen topography-related interactions with the CNT coating produced exceptions in the ECR measurements. Nonetheless, for most cases studied the coating did mitigate the influence of roughness.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"744 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76891158","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 results of the numerical model are compared to the published experimental data to verify the validity of the numerical model. The load capacity and maximum fluid pressure under different parameters of waviness of coupled journal-thrust bearings are calculated by numerical model, and then the influence of the bearing waviness on the performance of coupled journal-thrust water-lubricated bearings is analyzed. The simulation results show that the waviness amplitude has great influence on the bearing performances and the effect becomes increasingly pronounced with the growth of waviness amplitude. For the waviness of journal bearings, the performances are more sensitive to the waviness arranged in bearing circumferential direction than radial direction. For the waviness of thrust bearings, the presence of circumferential waviness can improve the load capacity, while radial waviness can reduce the load capacity. With the increase of wavelength, the load capacity and maximum fluid pressure have similar periodic changes, but the change is irregular. More investigations are required regarding the influence of geometrical shape of the waviness and its wavelength on the performance of the bearing.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"538 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74528383","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 paper proposes an innovative method for preparing a dual-scale micro-nano composite structure surface by combining mechanical ruling and anodic oxidation, which demonstrates great potential in enhancing hydrophobic surface properties. Through the analysis of the influence of micro-groove depth on the adhesion of hydrophobic surfaces, it has been discovered that micro-groove dimensions can be used to control surface adhesion while maintaining hydrophobicity, without complex chemical modifications. These findings present a promising approach for tailoring the properties of hydrophobic surfaces to suit specific applications. Compared with the single-scale micro-groove array structures, the surface roughness of the dual-scale micro-nano composite structures is significantly increased, and the contact angle of the water droplet is significantly increased. At the same time, the hydrophobicity and adhesion of the surface of the dual-scale micro-nano composite structures were analyzed. The results show that after anodizing, the contact angle of the dual-scale micro-nano composite structure surface increases, and the surface adhesion can be controlled by adjusting the structural parameters of the micro-groove and the anodizing process parameters, to ensure that the surface presents hydrophobic property while realizing the controllable adhesion of the hydrophobic surface. In this paper, dual-scale micro-nano composite structures fabricated by the composite method have achieved hydrophobic properties, and the surface adhesion can be effectively controlled by adjusting the processing parameters. This method has certain reference significance for the preparation of the controllable adhesive hydrophobic surface and lays a foundation for the further study of the controllable adhesive hydrophobic surface.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73040105","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}

Establishing a superhydrophobic barrier against microorganisms for underwater albronze components is hence of great significance. We demonstrate an all-laser route for superhydrophobic albronze surface fabrication and non-contact microbial diagnostics. Laser-textured albronze surfaces with well-defined periodic valleys and crests exhibit excellent superhydrophobicity with a contact angle up to 151 ± 1° and a contact angle hysteresis of 0.9 ± 0.1°, more than twice that of an original albronze surface (66 ± 2°). The theoretical wettability diagram of water droplets on laser-textured albronze surfaces shows that the surface wettability transits from hydrophilicity towards hydrophobicity as the surface undulation level elevated, matching well with the experimental observation. According to surface chemistry analysis, carbonyl groups on the albronze surfaces are extensively eliminated by laser texturing and vacuum heating treatment, which contributes to the wettability transformation. The anti-fouling performance of the laser-textured albronze surfaces was comparatively studied in chalk ash aqueous solution, starch solution, and microbial suspension, respectively. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy was applied for non-contact microbial diagnostics. Greatly enhanced resistance to biofouling on laser-textured albronze surfaces was confirmed. An all-laser route for anti-fouling superhydrophobic albronze surface fabrication and non-contact microbial diagnostics show great promise for next-generation underwater equipment upgrade and on-site monitoring.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81887271","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}
