Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure

investigation of mineralic 3-body abrasion according ASTM G65 and ASTM B611 standards; abrasives (quartz sand/slurry) are fed between a rotating wheel (rubber/steel) and the test specimen into the contact zone to produce abrasive wear on specimens surface; test sample and abrasive medium can be heated up to 1000 °C; relative speeds up to 12 m/s; dry and wet conditions; variation of friction wheel (steel, rubber, coating material)
