Test Principle
During the test, the specimen and counterface are installed inside the vacuum chamber, and the chamber is evacuated to the preset vacuum level using the vacuum system. According to test requirements, either rotary or reciprocating friction mode is selected, and parameters such as load, speed, stroke, and frequency are set. The loading mechanism applies a normal load to the friction pair, while the motion system drives relative sliding between the counterface and the specimen surface. During the test, sensors continuously collect friction force signals and calculate the coefficient of friction, while load and vacuum parameters are recorded simultaneously, enabling quantitative analysis of friction and wear performance of materials under vacuum conditions.
Operating Instructions
Before testing, confirm that the vacuum system sealing is in good condition to prevent leakage from affecting test results;
During evacuation, operate the vacuum system in stages according to specifications to avoid impact on specimens and sensors;
Different standards specify different requirements for load, speed, and friction modes, and corresponding standard parameters should be confirmed before testing;
Do not open the chamber under vacuum conditions; operation should only be performed after restoring atmospheric pressure;
When using the high-temperature module, pay attention to the influence of thermal expansion on fixtures and sensor systems.
Test Procedure
Determine the test conditions;
Install the specimen and counterface, and complete sealing of the vacuum chamber;
Start the vacuum system, evacuate the chamber to the specified vacuum level, and stabilize it;
Set the load, motion mode, and friction parameters, and start the friction test;
After the test, save the friction curves and data, restore atmospheric pressure, and remove the specimen;
Conduct subsequent analysis of wear scars and wear morphology.
