The Micro-Scale Abrasion Tester is a laboratory instrument used to evaluate abrasive wear behavior of hard coatings, soft coatings, and monolithic materials using a controlled ball-on-plate contact configuration. You can use this system to determine wear coefficients under micro-abrasion conditions and to generate controlled wear craters for accurate coating thickness measurement. The tester provides precise control of load, rotational speed, and test cycles, ensuring repeatable and standardized wear testing results.
Application
You can use this tester in the following application scenarios and test objects:
Coating wear resistance evaluation: PVD coatings, CVD coatings, thermal spray coatings, ceramic coatings
Coating thickness determination: thin film and functional coatings on metal or ceramic substrates
Material research: ceramics, metals, polymers, and surface-treated materials
Tribology studies: micro-scale abrasive wear mechanism analysis
Quality control: coating consistency verification and process validation
Academic and research laboratories: teaching experiments and wear modeling studies
