YG8 is a common cemented carbide material with excellent mechanical properties and mechanical properties, so it is widely used in the actual industry. However, due to the active chemical properties and strong affinity of tungsten alloy steel, it is easy to produce bonding and peeling in application, resulting in an unstable process and short service life. In order to control and reduce the surface wear of YG8 cemented carbide, groove-textured surface (GS) and flocking surface (FS) were prepared on smooth surface (SS). The friction characteristics of the samples were studied under different applied load conditions. The results show that the average friction coefficient of SS, GS and FS is inversely proportional to the load in dry/oil environment. Compared with SS, FS exhibits the lowest friction coefficient, which is reduced by 30.78% (dry friction) and 13.13% (oil lubrication). FS effectively improves the tooth jump phenomenon of the sample and the amplitude of the friction coefficient, friction force and load, and has the best anti-friction characteristics. At the same time, the FS with the fastest contact angle drop at any time also showed excellent wetting ability, and the wear rate decreased by an order of magnitude. The implantation of fibers in the groove inhibits the spalling and furrow of wear track, which is attributed to the effect of fibers on damage repair. In the friction process, FS increases the content of the O element and induces the formation of oxides. The friction mechanism is mainly chemical wear. The excellent tribological properties of FS have a good guiding significance and theoretical support for improving the tribological properties of high hardness material surfaces.
