Fast assessment of triboengineering properties and the load carrying capacities of bulk materials and topocomposites after tests of intersecting cylindrical specimens for friction. Part 1. Design of test instrument and methods of tests

摘要

The potential of assessing the triboengineering properties, the load carrying capacities and mechanical performance of bulk materials and coatings (topocomposites) is discussed using the results of tests of intersecting cylindrical specimens for friction. The design of the test instrument and the methods of fast assessment of these features are described as they are used in the process of tests during gradual intensification of loading in the contact. Various types of pin-pointed and linear contacts between surfaces can be achieved, sliding, rolling and slip, rolling, compression.
