"When you see the disc sliding across it stops you short," he said before hurrying off for a trial.
Once into Pennsylvania, I ejected the first map disc, slid in the one for Pennsylvania and Virginia, and summoned up the Bristol destination I had earlier entered into the Blaupunkt's memory.
Microhardness measurements and pin-on-disc sliding wear tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical and tribological properties.
The pin-on-disc sliding wear experiments were performed at a load of 6 N and sliding velocity of 0.1 m/s in normal atmosphere under dry condition.
The tribological performance of the coatings was evaluated using a dry sand abrasion test, a solid particle erosion test and a pin-on-disc sliding wear test.
Experimental activities consisted of micro- and nanoindentation testing, HRC adhesion test and ball-on-disc sliding wear test (Alumina counterpart) under dry atmosphere.
In this study, infrared thermography was used to observe the full field temperature map of PEEK against sapphire counterface during ball-on-disc sliding.
As-plated and annealed NiP coatings and composite NiP SiC coatings were investigated in uni-directional ball-on-disc sliding tests.
As-plated and heat-treated electrodeposited NiP and composite NiP SiC coatings were investigated in bi-directional ball-on-disc sliding tests.
