Wear testing & characterization

for benchmarking wear properties of various materials against commonly known ones

Hardcarb has developed a comprehensive suite of techniques for effective wear testing and characterization of hardfacing alloys. Wear has typical modes such as abrasion, erosion, adhesive, impact and corrosion. The wear resistance depends on various factors such as type of hardfacing alloy, hard phases, matrix material, matrix hardening agents, temperature etc. It is important to understand the behaviour of each hardfacing alloy under different wear conditions to use them effectively in the right application

Hardcarb develops new products, improves existing ones and provides technical support to its customers using this characterization information.
