The results show that under both friction conditions, the wear rate of TiAlSiN coating is decreased compared with 316 l steel substrate, and the coating presents a good protective effect. When friction occurs in air, the abrasive debris in the wear area cannot be discharged in time, resulting in the accumulation of abrasive debris and accelerating the wear of the coating. When friction occurs in seawater, although seawater is corrosive, the lubricating barrier surface formed by the friction oxide during the friction process significantly reduces the wear rate of the coating. In addition, the excellent electrochemical properties and the dense coating microstructure improve the tribocorrosion resistance of the TiAlSiN coating in seawater. It proves that friction surface has a great impact on the tribological performance of TiAlSiN coatings, and how to form a more favorable friction layer in the tribochemical environment is worthy of further research in the field of marine equipment.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80724259","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}

For the paint shop it means to introduce more sustainable paint concepts, while maintaining the production rate and retain the right surface appearance that is crucial for the vehicle’s perceived quality. Today most painted parts are visually inspected and, if needed, manually repaired by abrasive polishing to eliminate spot defects. The repair process consists of one sanding step to remove the defect, and one or two rubbing/polishing steps to restore the surface, but still it tends to be a non-reliable process leaving patterns or clusters of shallow micro scratches seen as three-dimensional shapes moving over the surface when viewed from different angles like holograms. These so called ‘polishing roses’ are hard to detect in artificial light but clearly visible in Sunlight and therefore they constitute a constant quality issue. Accurate polishing procedures in combination with more objective inspection techniques would secure a high surface quality—but what is ‘accurate’? The overall scope of the study was to deepen the knowledge of paint systems to develop test routines for the polishability of coatings already during the development stage, and thereby ease the implementation of new coating systems in production. The study was based on collected process data from professional polishers to define a process window based on key parameters for successful end-of-line repairs of coated surfaces, i.e. strategies minimizing the occurrence of visible polishing traces. A CNC-machine was built up for the purpose to systematically test and evaluate new coating systems and repair procedures. The surface estimation was made by visual inspections as well as by a further developed photometric stereo system providing quantitative images of remaining repair traces.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83220257","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}

Therefore, ISO 21920–2 in 2D and ISO 25178–2 in 3D offer parameters that can assess surface functional properties. The topographic portions of a surface, for example hills and dales, can be classified as features and evaluated using feature parameters. However, no parameter exists to describe the spatial distribution of features with regard to the degree of homogeneity for aperiodic surfaces. Here we show the application of the Delaunay triangulation to quantify the spatial distribution respectively the geometric relationship of features. Therefore, the feature points are determined by watershed analysis and the resulting point cloud is meshed in 2D. Based on that mean and standard deviation of the triangle side lengths and the area disorder (AD) are calculated as new parameters. The method is demonstrated for sandblasted and chrome-plated specimens. In addition simulation is used to generate more data for analysis. With the proposed approach the distinction and extent of uniform, homogeneous or inhomogeneous spatial distributions of features with parameter AD can be determined.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84814931","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 explore the wetting characteristics of droplets on anisotropic solid surfaces, including contact angle, droplet radius, droplet height, contact radius, contact area and projected area, an ellipsoidal droplet contact angle model was established. Different from the ordinary plane ellipsoidal cap model, the major axis and minor axis of the elliptical cap shape in this model are not exactly the same in different planes. This model studied the relationship between contact angle and interface parameters in different planes. By collecting the droplet size parameters of fluororubber (FKM) prepared by template method, the correctness of the theoretical model was verified. Among them, the maximum error between the theoretical value of droplet radius and the actual measured value was 4.3%, and the maximum error of droplet projected area was 2.1%. It was found that the contact angle was inversely proportional to the droplet-solid contact radius and contact area, and directly proportional to the projected area of the droplet. In addition, for the same droplet on the surface of the same solid material, it was observed that the contact radius between the droplet and the solid was small in the direction of large contact angle. This discovery is helpful to explain the hydrophobic mechanism of the material surface with anisotropic contact angle.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82345061","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}

Therefore, it is necessary to improve those components’ wear and corrosion resistance properties. Different processes like laser cladding, CVD, PVD, and thermal spraying are widely used for upgrading surface properties of material. In recent days, it has been found that many researchers investigated the performance of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding for cladding of superior material like ceramics, metal etc on different substrate materials. TIG cladding can fulfil the requirements of industries by developing a quality cladded layer with low cost and high productivity. This research paper has made an effort to compile the literature related to TIG cladding process for improving substrate properties. It has been observed that the superior materials like titanium carbide(TiC), silicon carbide(SiC), tungsten carbide(WC), cobalt-based alloys, and nickel-based alloys have been successfully cladded using TIG welding process. Researchers have also observed adequate improvement in properties like microhardness and wear resistance of different grades of steel substrate material, like 304, 316 stainless steel, 1010, and 1020 low-carbon steel. The process is also successfully utilized for cladding of superior material on nonferrous metals like Al, Ti alloy. The TIG clad quality and performance rely on different process parameters like current, scan speed, and shielding gas flow rate and also the properties of coating and substrate material.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82506502","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}

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).

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.
