Methods of wear testing for advanced surface coatings and bulk materials

Abstract This paper examines methods of assessing the wear resistance of coated and uncoated materials. Test equipment for sliding wear, erosion, impact and dynamic wear tests is discussed. Processes for measuring wear rates are highlighted and a simple procedure for conducting wear tests to simulate industrial wear problems is given. The wear test selected and the wear conditions encountered in real applications should conform in order for specialists to make adequate judgement on the life of a particular component in service.
