Comprensión de los fallos del revestimiento mediante ensayos de rayado
Introducción:
La ingeniería de superficies de los materiales desempeña un papel importante en diversas aplicaciones funcionales, que van desde el aspecto decorativo hasta la protección de los sustratos contra el desgaste, la corrosión y otras formas de ataque. Un factor importante y primordial que determina la calidad y la vida útil de los revestimientos es su fuerza cohesiva y adhesiva.
High Speed Scanning w/ Non-contact Profilometry
Introducción:
Quick and easy set-up surface measurements save time, effort and are essential for quality control, research and development and production facilities. The Nanovea Non-Contact Profilometer is capable of performing both 3D & 2D surface scans to measure nano to macro scale features on any surface, providing broad range usability.
Continuous Stribeck Curve Measurement using Pin-on-Disk Tribometer
Introducción:
When lubrication is applied to reduce the wear/friction of moving surfaces, the lubrication contact at the interface can shift from several regimes such as Boundary, Mixed and Hydrodynamic Lubrication. The thickness of the fluid film plays a major role in this process, mainly determined by the fluid viscosity, the load applied at the interface and the relative speed between the two surfaces. How the lubrication regimes react to friction is shown in what is called a Stribeck [1-4] curve.
In this study we demonstrate for the first time the ability to measure a continuous Stribeck Curve. Using the Nanovea Tribómetro advanced step-less speed control, from 15000 to 0.01 rpm, within 10 minutes the software directly provides a complete Stribeck Curve. The simple initial setup only requires users to select the Exponential Ramp Mode and enter initial and final speeds, rather than having to perform multiple tests or program a stepwise procedure at different speeds requiring data stitching for the conventional Stribeck curve measurements. This advancement provides precise data throughout lubricant regime evaluation and substantially reduces time and cost. The test shows a great potential to be used in different industrial engineering applications.
