Purpose As the internal defects (pore defect) of materials formed during the preparation of the composite material have important effects on wear process, the model has been improved to simulate it. Design/methodology/approach Materials with defects were simulated by an improved cellular automaton model which show changes in three-dimensional topography, temperature of surface and coefficient of friction (COF) during wear process. Findings It is found that defects increase temperature of material surface. Besides, the materials with little defects have a smaller COF than base materials, as the large block defects make the COF larger than base materials. Originality/value Except for effects of defects were simulated in model, how to initialize the surface temperature status that many reports do not take into account can be preferred. And the model is convenient to simulate complex composite materials by setting different properties of cells.

Rather than designated directly as solid if the micromesh (or cell) larger than a nucleus is chosen as the nucleation site, the growth of a nucleus in the cell is considered in the application of the modified cellular automaton model to simulate the evolution of dendritic microstructures in the solidification of Al-Cu alloy. The growth velocity of a nucleus or a dendrite tip is calculated according to the KGT (Kurz-Giovanola-Trivedi) model, which is the function of the undercooling. In this study, the dendritic microstructures, such as the free dendritic growth in an undercooled melt and the dendritic growth in the directional solidification, are simulated with the modified growth algorithm in the nucleation cell. The simulated results for the temporal and final morphologies are shown and are in agreement with the experimental ones.
