Abrasion was studied using a Martindale (Nu-Martindale model 403, James Heal & Co. Ltd ,UK) and wool abradant fabric, according to standard EN ISO 5470 2.
The results also indicate that coating debris acts as an additional source of abradant particles in the SiC slurry, leading to higher abrasive wear in the substrate.
In this paper a simple and reliable integrated testing method, in which conjoin actions involving fracture and abrasion of hardmetals together with abradant comminution, is carefully monitored and analysed.
Here, because the size of the contact zone of the abrasion event may approach that of the abradant and the reinforcement (both typically <10 μm), the wear mechanism is complex.
The results from this testing show that by using one apparatus and test specimen shape it is possible to obtain a reliable rating of hardmetals according to both criteria: their fracture toughness as well as their resistance to abrasion in rubbing contact with the abradant.
