Block-on-Ring Test is a widely used technique that evaluates the
sliding wear behaviors of materials in many different
simulated conditions.
sliding wear behaviors of materials in many different
simulated conditions.
How does it work?
A Block-On-Ring test allows a reliable ranking of material couples for
specific tribological applications.
A block is pressed down on a rotating ring.
