Abstract:

The microstructures on 304 stainless steel, X80 pipeline steel and 45# steel surfaces were prepared at different etching times by using the chemical etching and modification with low-surface-energy material. The microstructures and wettabilities of different material surfaces were obtained by a scanning electronic microscope and a contact angle meter, respectively. The fractal parameters were calculated by Matlab software. The results showed that the hydrophobic surfaces prepared on three materials had fractal characteristics. The optimal etching time was 30 min. At that time, the maximum subset of multifractal spectrum was close to the leftmost, the corresponding singularity index was the smallest, and the fractal dimension also reached the maximum. The linear fitting results of fractal dimension and contact angle was good. The contact angle increased with the increase of fractal dimension.

Key words: Microstructure, Fractal dimension, Multifractal spectrum, Contact angle, Wettability
