Friction and wear are two important factors affecting mechanical components’ performance and durability. Reciprocating sliding friction and wear tests evaluate the tribological properties of materials and coatings under simulated sliding conditions. These tests can provide […]
The article is sponsored by Bruker. Friction is the great obstacle to overcome when testing new products with moving parts. While friction can never disappear completely, it may be possible to achieve ultralow friction: a […]
Ever-growing customer demands lead to tougher material requirements. New high-performing materials and surface treatments become available every week with properties which were thought impossible. However, replacing the material of a machine component comes at a […]
Radiation is well known to cause an increase of corrosion in the materials it comes into contact with. The increase in the corrosion rate leads to machines and equipment becoming inefficient more quickly, and components […]
Quality Magazine have published an article about using benchtop mechanical testing to assess materials in the automotive industry, saving time and money. Full scale tests are often used to test the frictional behaviour of materials, […]
