Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
simulation of a horizontally or vertically arranged linear-oscillating relative movement with a frequency in the range of up to a few Hz between two pressed-on surface- or tube-like friction partners in an extremely abrasive and corrosive liquid environment (test chamber conditions: room temperature to 100 °C., test chamber pressure up to 3 bar, oxygen content reduced to a few ppb, gas flooding with, for example, corrosive gas, introduction of abrasives, etc.); for this purpose, the fully closed test chamber is designed as an electrochemical cell, whereby the electrochemical (corrosive) potential between two metallic materials (test specimens) in the frictional contact can be determined
