Abrasion and wear designate to changes induced by mechanical-tribological stress on materials’ surfaces. Depending on product and application requirements, the abrasion and wear properties of the friction partners are determined in relative motions. In linear (e.g. Crockmeter, Linear Abrasion Tester, Abrex®, VESLIC tester, etc.) as well as rotational (e.g. Taber®, Martindale, Schopper, etc.) load scenarios with application to dry, wet as well as media treated conditions, a variety of different methods are available for testing the abrasion and wear resistance properties.
Join us for the Freiberg Collagen Symposium, September, 29-30, Freiberg/Germany
The symposium is an established meeting point for scientists, manufacturers, and users from around the world who focus on topics related to collagen—such as collagen extraction and processing, analytics, synthetic collagen and collagen peptides, simulation and modeling, and medical and pharmaceutical applications.
