Traditionally, the wear of materials has been characterized by weight loss and wear rate. However, studies have found that wear coefficient is more suitable. The reason being that it takes the wear rate, the applied load, and the hardness of the wear pin into account. Although, measurement variations by an order of 10-1 have been observed, the ...
The Martindale method, also known as the Martindale rub test, simulates natural wear of a seat cover, in which the textile sample is rubbed against a standard abrasive surface with a specified force. The test equipment works in intervals of 5000 cycles, totalling the wear number (unit: Martindale) of abrasion cycles that leads to the material ...
The test reports loss of mass to abrasion and impact, expressed as a percentage of initial sample mass. [7] Maximum acceptable loss for the base course of the road is 45%; the more demanding surface course must be 35% or less. [1] The test was developed by the city engineers of Los Angeles in the 1920s. [8]
The wear rate is affected by factors such as type of loading (e.g., impact, static, dynamic), type of motion (e.g., sliding, rolling), temperature, and lubrication, in particular by the process of deposition and wearing out of the boundary lubrication layer. [5] Depending on the tribosystem, different wear types and wear mechanisms can be observed.

The Archard wear equation is a simple model used to describe sliding wear and is based on the theory of asperity contact. The Archard equation was developed much later than Reye's hypothesis [] (sometimes also known as energy dissipative hypothesis), though both came to the same physical conclusions, that the volume of the removed debris due to wear is proportional to the work done by friction ...
The Calo tester, also known as a ball crater or coating thickness tester, is a simple and inexpensive piece of equipment used to measure the thickness of coatings.Coatings with thicknesses typically between 0.1 to 50 micrometres, such as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coatings or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coatings, are used in many industries to improve the surface properties of tools ...
Accelerated life testing is the process of testing a product by subjecting it to conditions (stress, strain, temperatures, voltage, vibration rate, pressure etc.) in excess of its normal service parameters in an effort to uncover faults and potential modes of failure in a short amount of time.
