In the current work, a comprehensive three-dimensional topography characterization of electrical discharge textured SS304 surfaces is performed under the following heads: quantitative representation, microstructures and their distributions, and surface functionality. Topography analysis reveals that peak count distribution tends to become flattened with their mean shifting to higher heights when discharge energy increases. Higher discharge energy generates rougher textured surfaces with taller and sharper, but less densely distributed peaks. These textured surfaces also show improvement in wetting and sealing properties, more running-in period wear volume, more surface area for load carrying, and improved lubricant retention capacity.

在当前工作中，在以下标题下对放电织构的SS304表面进行了全面的三维形貌表征：定量表示，微观结构及其分布以及表面功能。形貌分析表明，当放电能量增加时，峰数分布趋于趋于平坦，其均值移向更高的高度。较高的放电能量会产生粗糙的纹理表面，这些表面具有较高和较高的尖峰，但分布的峰较不密集。这些有纹理的表面还显示出改善的润湿和密封性能，更大的磨合期磨损量，更大的承载面积以及改善的润滑剂保持能力。
