• • Vertical cross texture achieved a wear rate of 2.33%, an 80% reduction compared to ordinary uncoated blades, directly extending service life and reducing replacement downtime in agricultural operations.
• • Cladding powder consumption dropped to 4.1 g per blade versus 18.6 g for traditional overlapping cladding, a 67% reduction, yielding substantial cost savings in high-volume blade production.
• • Wear resistance coefficients for vertical and parallel textures were 3.31 and 4.55 times that of untextured blades, respectively, demonstrating that texture geometry critically influences tribological performance under soil abrasion.
• • Laser confocal microscopy revealed the vertical cross texture had a wear area of 852.559 μm², only 18% of the perpendicular texture's wear area, confirming that cross-hatched grooves better retain self-filling soil and distribute contact stresses.
