In order to improve the friction and wear behavior of Al–Si alloy cylinder liner, the surfaces of cylinder liner samples were prepared by three kinds of surface shaping treatments (chemical etching shaping, mechanical honing shaping, and laser ablation shaping). All the three kinds of surface shaping treatments can expose the silicon particles on the surface of Al–Si alloy cylinder liner, which prevents the contact aluminum from the counterface (piston ring). The area between the two protruding silicon particles can be stored for enhanced lubrication and reduce friction. These shaping surfaces were different. The edges of the silicon particles are made sharp by the chemical etching shaping treatment. The edges of the silicon particles are round but with burr by the mechanical honing shaping treatment. The edges of silicon particles are round but without burr by the laser ablation shaping treatment. The friction coefficient and weight loss are lowest by the laser ablation shaping in three kinds of surface shaping treatments. There are two reasons. On the one hand, the edges of silicon particles are round but without burr, which reduce the stress concentration. On the other hand, the silicon particles combine well with aluminum, which reduce the probability of falling off.

Pulsed-laser ablation has been widely used to produce high-quality thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ on a range of substrate materials. The nonequilibrium nature of the process allows congruent deposition of oxides with complex stoichiometrics. In the high power density regime produced by the UV excimer lasers the ablated species includes a mixture of neutral atoms, molecules and ions. All these species play an important role in thin-film deposition. However, changes in the deposition parameters have been shown to affect the microstructure of thin YBa2Cu3O7-δ films. The formation of metastable configurations is possible because at the low substrate temperatures used, only shortrange rearrangement on the substrate surface can occur. The parameters associated directly with the laser ablation process, those determining the nature of the process, e g. thermal or nonthermal volatilization, have been classified as ‘primary parameters'. Other parameters may also affect the microstructure of the thin film. In this paper, the effects of these ‘secondary parameters' on the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-δ films will be discussed. Examples of 'secondary parameters' include the substrate temperature and the oxygen partial pressure during deposition.
