Under high temperature and pressure conditions, the epoxy asphalt mixture effectively maintains its structural integrity without significant rutting, making it suitable for airport runways.

While laser-clad coatings enhance surface properties, the synergistic integration of composite coatings with surface texturing to optimize fretting wear resistance remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by developing Ti-Al-C-N composite coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates via laser cladding. Furthermore, laser surface texturing was applied to surface of the coating to clarify the mechanisms of texture density, size, and morphology on the high-temperature fretting friction coefficient, thereby achieving coatings with reduced friction and enhanced wear resistance. Results demonstrate that texture density critically influences friction reduction: excessively dense arrangements hinder performance, whereas moderate densities lower the coefficient of friction (COF) by 30–50 %. Further, maximizing the absolute difference between texture size and displacement amplitude minimized COF, highlighting the interplay between mechanical interaction and texture geometry. Among patterns, the honeycomb texture exhibited superior performance, reducing COF by 50 % compared to circular textures and 30 % against fish-scale designs, attributed to its stress distribution and debris-trapping capabilities. These findings provide actionable guidelines for designing textured coatings to extend the lifespan of titanium alloy components in aerospace systems, emphasizing the importance of geometry-driven optimization in surface engineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23238,"journal":{"name":"Tribology International","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 110951"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the mechanism behind the large fluctuations in removal depth during the surface roughening process is analyzed, where the primary cause is not the wear of abrasives but the scraps filling the gaps between them. To reduce the fluctuation amplitude, a model that modifies the single abrasive material removal by considering scraps filling is proposed, along with an adaptive normal force method that ensures depth consistency in surface roughening. The failure modes of scraps filling is analyzed, whose height is characterized, and a theoretical model is then established to describe it. Based on this, the scraps filling height model is integrated with the material removal model, and the adaptive normal force method is designed, which gives attention to both the depth stability of the material removal and the processing coverage rate. Experiments validate the effects of normal force, grain rotation speed, abrasive sizes and processing time on removal depth and scraps filling height, leading to further fitting correction of the scraps filling height model. Moreover, the verification experiment of the adaptive method verifies the effectiveness of the adaptive force method for depth consistent. Results show that as the scraps filling height increases, the increment in removal depth is suppressed, resulting in significant variations in depth and decreased processing efficiency. In contrast, the proposed method accounts for the impact of scraps filling and improves both depth consistency and processing coverage rare, thereby enhancing the quality of surface roughening.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23238,"journal":{"name":"Tribology International","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 110948"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144518667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a novel hybrid thermal-field assisted USRP (H-USRP) strategy to achieve superior surface strengthening for 2205 DSS. Systematic investigations were conducted on the corrosion behavior and tribological performance under extreme temperatures (400°C, 25°C, −60°C) and artificial seawater environments. The synergistic interaction between thermally induced plasticity and severe plastic deformation during H-USRP generates ultra-refined surface grains, simultaneously improving surface finish (63.11 % roughness reduction), hardness (10.88 % increase), and hardening depth (103.43 % enhancement) compared to conventional USRP. Notably, H-USRP modified surfaces exhibit 62.5 % enrichment of Cr₂O₃ in passive films and 79.17 % reduction in corrosion rate. The wear volume under high-temperature, cryogenic, and corrosive conditions decreases by 10.92 %, 16.43 %, and 19.37 %, respectively, with concurrent reduction in friction coefficients. Particularly under 1.0 V applied potential, H-USRP effectively suppresses corrosive wear through 55.34 % decreased corrosion current and reduced synergistic damage (<em>ΔW</em><sub>fc</sub> contribution decreased to 57.15 %).
