Process:
A pin or a ball is loaded onto a test sample with a stable weight with feedback control. Wear rates for the pin and the disk are calculated from the volume of material lost during the test. Controlled atmosphere, liquid and temperature can be varied at the test point. Linear mode is possible with the standard x-y motorized table while the pin-on-disk test requires the rotation table upgrade. Friction is measured through a change in torque in the pin-on-disk mode and with a capacitive spring system on linear system.

Properties Analyzed:
• Friction Coefficient • Wear Rates

Additional Testing:
Nanoindentation | Hardness Testing
Nano Scratch | Adhesion Testing
