Axial piston pumps with compact structures and high efficiency are widely used in construction machinery. The efficiency and lifetime strongly depend on the tribological performance of the pump’s valve plate pair. To enhance the tribological performance of the valve plate pair, surface textures, and H-DLC coatings were fabricated to modify the CuAl10Fe5Ni5 surfaces. The influences of elliptic textures of different sizes and textured H-DLC coatings on the surface friction and wear properties of the valve plate surface under oil lubrication were evaluated using a ring-on-disk tribometer. The results reveal that the friction and wear properties of the CuAl10Fe5Ni5 surfaces are significantly enhanced by elliptic textures, and the friction coefficient and wear rate of textured CuAl10Fe5Ni5 with E90 are maximally decreased by 95% and 87%, respectively. Compared with the surface textures and H-DLC coatings, the textured H-DLC coating has the greatest ability to reduce wear and adhesion. The wear rate of the textured H-DLC coating is further reduced by 98%. This improvement can be explained by the synergistic effect of the elliptic textures and H-DLC coatings, which are attributed to the reduced contact area, debris capture, and secondary lubrication of the elliptic textures, and increased surface hardness.
