Surface texturing is a common modification method for altering the surface properties of a material. Predicting the response of a textured surface to scratching is significant in surface texturing and material design. In this study, scratches on a thermoplastic material with textured surface are simulated and experimentally tested. The effect of texture on scratch resistance, surface visual appearance, surface deformation and material damage are investigated. Bruise spot scratches on textured surfaces are found at low scratch forces (<3 N) and their size at different scratch forces is approximately the same. There is a critical point between the bruise spot damage and the texture pattern damage caused by continuous scratching. Scratch resistance coefficients and an indentation depth-force pattern are revealed for two textured surfaces. A texture named "Texture CB" exhibits high effectiveness in enhancing scratch visibility resistance and can increase the scratch resistance by more than 40% at low scratch forces. The simulation method and the analysis of the power spectral density of the textured surface enable an accurate prediction of scratches.
表面纹理化是一种改变材料表面性能的常见改性方法。预测纹理化表面对划痕的响应在表面纹理化和材料设计中具有重要意义。在本研究中,对具有纹理化表面的热塑性材料上的划痕进行了模拟和实验测试。研究了纹理对耐刮性、表面视觉外观、表面变形和材料损伤的影响。发现在低刮擦力(<3 N)下,纹理化表面上会出现瘀斑状划痕,并且在不同刮擦力下其尺寸大致相同。在瘀斑状损伤和连续刮擦引起的纹理图案损伤之间存在一个临界点。揭示了两种纹理化表面的耐刮系数和压痕深度-力模式。一种名为“纹理CB”的纹理在增强划痕可见性抗性方面表现出高效性,并且在低刮擦力下可将耐刮性提高40%以上。纹理化表面的模拟方法和功率谱密度分析能够准确预测划痕。
