Abstract

This study aims to provide a convenient process for improving the tribological properties of Ni3Al matrix composite films. A sharkskin-inspired microtexture was developed using laser surface texturing technology on a GH3044 superalloy. Electrohydrodynamic atomization technology was subsequently utilized to deposit Ni3Al matrix composite films on the substrate surfaces. The corresponding synergistic tribological behavior of Ni3Al matrix composite films and laser surface texturing was evaluated through friction tests. Results indicated that the Ni3Al matrix composite films containing 8% Ti3SiC2 and with a sharkskin-inspired microtexture exhibited good anti-friction properties and wear resistance.
