Laboratory for Micromechanical, Scratch and Wear Resistance Testing.

In the laboratory, it is possible to carry out comprehensive testing of the micromechanical properties of materials (including microhardness, Young's modulus, indentation work), and scratch resistance (adhesion) of coatings using a Anton-Paar device (MCT3 - micro combi tester), including: metals and alloys, biomaterials, ceramics, diffusion layers and coatings, materials for electronics, paints and varnishes, glass, porous materials, concrete minerals, etc.

In addition, the equipment includes top-of-the-line microprocessor-based Anton Paar tribometer TRN tribological workstations that allow to perform wear and friction coefficient tests in rotary, circular oscillatory and reciprocating linear motion that meet international standards for evaluating: wear resistance of various plastics, metals and alloys, resistance to galling of low-friction coatings, properties of oils, plastic and solid lubricants. Other equipment available includes a Mitutoyo Surftest SJ-500 profilographometer for surface roughness measurements, an Olympus GX-51 microscope with SC30 camera, a Wolpert Wilson Instruments model 401MVD Vickers microhardness tester, and a Radwag AS 310 laboratory balance with an accuracy of 0.1 mg and an ultrasonic cleaner.
