Method

Tribometry

Tribometer for analyzing friction, wear, and lubrication behavior under realistic testing conditions. Applicable in materials development and tribology research.

Equipment

TRB3 Pin-on-Disc Tribometer / Anton Paar – CSM

Method

Tribology testing using a pin-on-disc setup to measure friction and wear properties under controlled environmental conditions. The TRB3 is designed to study the wear resistance of coatings and materials by applying a constant load and monitoring the wear over time.

Expected Result

Quantitative data on the wear rate and friction coefficient of materials, allowing manufacturers to evaluate durability and performance under sliding conditions.

Case Study

An automotive parts manufacturer tests a hard coating for brake discs. Using the TRB3 tribometer, the wear rate and friction properties are assessed under conditions simulating real-world use, providing valuable insights into the coating’s durability and effectiveness in reducing wear.
