Abstract

This paper is concerned with whether the micro-scale abrasive test is suitable for studying non-flat surfaces. A new micro-scale abrasion test has been developed to do studies on cylindrical shapes. A complete procedure to determine the intrinsic wear resistance of coatings is presented and discussed. The new method allows the direct characterization of small cylindrical parts, such as pins, bolts, shafts, etc. The method developed is used to study the abrasion resistance of W–Si–N sputtered coatings and electroplated chromium films.
