Tribology in laboratory surface analysis
You have a problem involving tribology in surface analysis
Tribology in a few words
Why perform tribology in surface analysis?
Tribology allows the study of different types of wear:
- wear by abrasion/erosion
- wear by adhesion (tearing of materials adhering to each other)
- wear by corrosion (for metal surfaces)
- fatigue wear
If you are concerned by one or more of these problems, the analysis of your surfaces by means of tribology is necessary.
Performance measurement :
- Study and characterisation of tribological properties (hardness, friction, wear)
- Versatile tribological platform that can imitate a wide range of real environments
- Hardness (Vickers micro indentation),
- Scratch test (Rockwell C)
- Lubrication properties (stribeck curves)
- Mechanical surface resistance
