A review of micro-scale abrasion testing

Abstract: Micro-scale abrasion (commonly referred to as ‘ball cratering’) is a small-scale tribological test method which can be operated on a desktop. It offers the possibility of providing a quick, cheap, localized abrasion test that can be used with small samples. In principle its operation is simple, but in practice there are issues with wear scar measurement, wear mode and its applicability to a wide variety of monolithic materials and coatings.

“…A tungsten filament SEM (Hitachi S-3700) was used to acquire the surface topography images and to measure the resulting wear scar diameters. The mass loss volumes were estimated using a standard technique for measuring wear scar of spherical geometry (15). It is assumed the shape of the crater conforms to the shape of the ball.…”

“…These are some of the advantages micro-scale abrasion testing has over other and more well-established tribological methods. A comprehensive review of micro-scale abrasion testing is provided in the literature (15). There are two modes of wear generally observed in micro-scale abrasion testing: grooving (two-body) abrasion and rolling (three-body) abrasion.…”

“…Because the fine natural abrasives can free path in cermet materials due to its size is of the same order of magnitude as the hard-phase particle size and binder [28]. Hence, the tribological behaviours in natural silt-laden water represented in this study maybe different from the results in artificial silt-laden water because there are the many differences in size, hardness and morphology between got-up particles and natural silt [35].…”

“…Outra condição muito importante e que merece destaque é a superfície da esfera; a rugosidade da superfície da esfera influencia significativamente a repetitividade e reprodutibilidade na determinação do coeficiente de desgaste. Este efeito é explicado pelo modo como o abrasivo é conduzido pela esfera para dentro da calota desgastada, ficando evidenciado que uma superfície mais rugosa da esfera facilita o engaste do abrasivo que tende a produzir um desgaste por riscamento enquanto uma superfície menos rugosa ou polida dificulta a retenção do abrasivo e desta forma facilita o desgaste por rolamento [6][7]. Entre os materiais com elevada resistência ao desgaste estão as superligas; a resistência ao desgaste destas ligas é muito conhecida e bem reportada pela literatura.…”
