Existing data-driven approaches often suffer from limited interpretability and high monitoring costs. To address these issues, this study proposes a hybrid mechanism and data-driven method for predicting notch wear. A geometric model of the ball-end cutting edge was constructed, and the cutting edge micro-element force feature (CFF) and the effective cutting edge length feature (ECEF) were derived using polar coordinate projection and interpolation algorithms. These two features were identified as core drivers of notch wear, with clear mechanistic links. The derived features were then used to train predictive models based on ensemble learning, kernel methods, and artificial neural networks.

Further integrating the random forest algorithm with recursive feature elimination, feature optimization achieved a 50.2% improvement in computational efficiency while retaining 99.84% of the original model’s predictive capability. Finally, based on wear mechanism decoupling and ablation experiments, a cross-scale framework combining geometry, mechanics, and data was established. The results indicated that force-induced thermal cyclic load plays a dominant role in the notch wear process, while abrasive wear acts as an auxiliary factor, and the contribution of the former is 3.6 times that of the latter. This framework offers a new paradigm for wear prediction that is both mechanistically interpretable and practically applicable, with significant potential for high-end manufacturing sectors such as aerospace.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":"587 ","pages":"Article 206485"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145842287","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 focuses on 11Cr4NiMo low-carbon martensitic stainless steel and aims to elucidate the role of heat-treatment-induced microstructure, particularly reversed austenite, in governing the tribocorrosion mechanisms of low-carbon martensitic stainless steels under a custom triboelectrochemical setup with a silicon nitride (Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) counterpart in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The results demonstrate that the microstructure, containing 6.54 % reverted austenite, provides optimal performance, reducing wear volume and corrosion current density by approximately 31 % compared to tempered martensite. This superior resistance is attributed to a novel dual mechanism: reversed austenite facilitates the rapid regeneration of a continuous, Cr-rich passive film, maintaining a “repassivation rate > wear rate” balance to impede Cl<sup>−</sup> attack; and (2) It coordinates plastic deformation to alleviate stress concentration, maintaining passivation film integrity, ultimately resulting in mild abrasive wear. In contrast, martensitic structures, due to strain localization and slow regeneration of passivation films post-rupture, are prone to delamination, leading to layered-oxidative composite wear.

In this research, the authors introduce a deep-learning methodology based on multimodality as Thermo-Edge Attention Network (TEA-Net) consisting of the fusion of thermal images, line maps, and statistical wear detection to obtain accurate tool-wear separation. The model uses multi-head attention to focus on local wear areas and combines similarities of complementary cues of various data modalities using a common fusion point. Experimental analyses on Austenitic Stainless Steel 316L (SS316L) and Zirconia (ZrO<sub>2</sub>) machining tools show that TEA-Net can be evaluated at 82.5 and 88.4 classification accuracy on direct comparison with conventional machine-learning models, and with standard convolutional networks, respectively, with 15-percent higher accuracy. This framework also has a high capability of discrimination whose Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) exceed 0.97 therefore showing the reliability in both ductile and brittle materials. The findings show that multimodal integration has a significant positive effect on interpretability and prediction stability despite the scanty data quantity.

The results definitively demonstrate that pitting originates solely from detached cavity collapse, and is irrelevant to attached cavity development and movement. The collapse process is revealed to be progressive, evolving through three successive physical stages: the initial isolated cavity collapse stage, the core large cavity collapse stage where extreme pressure arises from the spatiotemporal superposition of collapse-induced shocks, and the subsequent rebound cavity collapse stage characterized by multiple pressure peaks. Specifically, quantitative analysis attributes differential pitting severity to these three stages: the large cavity collapse stage is the core pitting source, the rebound cavity collapse stage is a significant contributor, while the isolated cavity collapse stage presents only minor supplementary pitting. Moreover, the study clarifies that the potential pitting risk from cavity shedding is not direct but attributable to the collapse of shedding-induced isolated cavities; however, the actual damage is negligible due to low pressure amplitude and distribution density. Additionally, pitting severity worsens nonlinearly with cavitation aggravation, underscoring that preventing severe cavitation is paramount for mitigating damage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":"587 ","pages":"Article 206488"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145808363","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}

Bionics offers new solutions to the problem of wear. Drawing inspiration from <em>Mammillaria hahniana</em> cactus petals, this study proposes a new bionic model: a symmetrical biconical structure. Multiple bionic petal models were fabricated using fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology. Gas-solid erosion tests were conducted using gravel particles of different sizes at various angles of erosion. Tests have shown that the biconical structure exhibits superior erosion resistance at high angles (≥60°), achieving a maximum erosion wear rate reduction of 45.9 % compared to other samples. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was used to study the flow patterns and the way the particles moved. The biconical structure's unique streamlined shape prevents the boundary layer from separating, guiding the particles to slip directionally along the cone surface. This reduces the normal impact and sliding friction between the particles and the sample surface. Meanwhile, tensile and compression tests showed that the front and back ends of the biconical structure could support each other, enabling the structure to resist plastic deformation during erosion. Additionally, the overall structural strength of the biconical samples increased, particularly with regard to compressive loads. This study overcomes the shortcomings of conventional erosion-resistant structures, which are limited to a single function.

Critically, PCD tools demonstrate superior cutting performance stability at elevated cutting speeds. Furthermore, while the surface roughness values are comparable (PCD: Sa≈65 nm, SCD: Sa≈26 nm), the evolution mechanism of surface morphology and subsurface microstructure differ significantly: PCD tools generate a 1.5 μm thick subsurface layer characterized by fine grains and extensive dislocation entanglements, forming a fine-grain reinforced zone.
