Tribocorrosion Wear Evaluation of Protective Coating

The tribocorrosion process of the DLC coatings on different types of steel substrates is simulated using the Nanovea Tribometer. In this study, we would like to showcase that Nanovea Tribometer equipped with the Tribocorrosion Module is an ideal tool for evaluating the performance of protective coatings used in wear and corrosion environment.

3 Point Bend Test Using Microindentation

In this application, the Nanovea Mechanical Tester, in Microindentation mode, is used to measure the flexural strength (using 3 Point Bend) of various sized rod samples (pasta) to show a range of data. 2 different diameters were chosen to demonstrate both elastic and brittle characteristics. Using a flat tip indenter to apply a point load, we determine stiffness (Young’s Modulus) and identify the critical loads at which the sample will fracture.

Micro Scratch Depth Measurement Using 3D Profilometry

In this application the Nanovea ST400 Profilometer is used for depth measurement of a row of micro scratches created using Nanovea’s Mechanical Tester in scratch mode. In seconds the Profilometer, with a single line pass in 2D mode, provides area and depth  measurement.
