Maskless Electrochemical Texturing (MECT) Applied to Skin-Pass Cold Rolling Paulo L. Monteiro, Wilian Labiapari, Washington M. Da Silva, Cristiano de Azevedo Celente, Henara Lillian Costa Lubricants, 2025 The surface topography of the rolls used in skin-pass cold rolling determines the surface finish of rolled sheets. In this sense, work rolls can be intentionally textured to produce certain topographical features on the final sheet surface. The maskless electrochemical texturing method (MECT) is a potential candidate for industrial-scale application due to its reduced texturing cost and time when compared to traditional texturing methods. However, there are few studies in the literature that address the MECT method applied to the topography control of cold rolling work rolls. The present work aims to analyze the viability of surface texturing via MECT of work rolls used in skin-pass cold rolling. In this study, we first investigated how texturing occurs for tool steel using flat textured samples to facilitate the understanding of the dissolution mechanisms involved. In this case, a specially designed texturing chamber was built to texture flat samples extracted from an actual work roll. The results indicated that the anodic dissolution involved in tool steel texturing occurs preferentially in the metallic matrix around the primary carbides. Then, we textured a work roll used in pilot-scale rolling tests, which required the development of a special prototype to texture cylindrical surfaces. After texturing, the texture transfer from the work roll to the sheets was investigated. Rolling tests showed that the work roll surface textured with a dimple pattern generated a pillar-shaped texture pattern on the sheet surface, possibly due to a reverse extrusion mechanism.
Numerical simulation of the tribological behavior of cylinder liners containing hybrid textures (stochastic dimples and honing grooves) Elton Y G de Oliveira, Samuel A N Silva, Francisco J Profito, Henara L Costa Surface Topography Metrology and Properties, 2025 This work aims to optimize the surface textures of two-stroke engine cylinder liners through numerical simulation. A mirror-like liner with stochastic texture patterns resulting from localized ‘peak outs’ formed in the honing step of hard chrome coating was used as the reference surface. Honing grooves were digitally superimposed onto the reference surface, and the effects of the groove crossing angle (α), depth (d p), width (w), and density (d e) on the mixed lubrication and friction behavior of the piston/cylinder liner tribosystem were evaluated. The simulations used a deterministic modelling approach that couples a hydrodynamic model with an asperity contact model at the microscopic roughness scale. The optimal simulation results were obtained for grooves with α = 40°, d e = 0.15, w = 15 μm and d p = 1.5 μm. However, even the most favorable textured configuration showed inferior lubrication performance compared to the reference surface. These findings suggest that the stochastic texture resulting from mirror-like honing already provides advantageous lubrication conditions, making the addition of honing grooves unnecessary for the cylinder liners analyzed in this study.
A Holistic Review of Surface Texturing in Sheet Metal Forming: From Sheet Rolling to Final Forming Paulo L. Monteiro, Henara L. Costa Lubricants, 2025 Skin-pass cold rolling is a crucial step in sheet metal production, modifying the sheet surface topography, ensuring thickness uniformity, and enhancing tribological performance. A key factor in this process is the surface texturing of work rolls, which, when transferred to the rolled sheet, directly affects lubrication distribution and formability in subsequent stamping operations. Properly textured sheets promote lubricant retention, reducing friction and wear, while roll wear can compromise texture transfer, leading to defects in the final product. This review presents a holistic view of surface texturing from the roll topography to the final product. First, it explores different texturing methods for work rolls, analyzing their efficiency, durability, and impact on texture transfer. Then, alternative texturing techniques and coatings are discussed as strategies to mitigate roll wear. By assessing the relationship between roll texturing and sheet drawability, this study provides insights to improve industrial processes, enhance product quality, and promote more sustainable manufacturing solutions.
