Objective
The take up of wear resistant coatings by European industry would be enhanced by meeting the need for a robust and reliable standardized wear test for wear resistant coatings. This project will achieve this goal and will thereby help European industry to improve their product design and performance to meet the challenge from international competition. The project will develop the emerging ball cratering (micro-abrasion) test and will draft a standard for the use of this test for submission to the relevant CEN committee. The standard will include agreed test procedures and specifications for the test. The project will evaluate different variants of the test system, examine the effect of changes in test parameters on test results, develop measurement and analysis methods, and will validate the reproducibility and repeatibility of the test.
