Tribology and Corrosion

Analysis of tribological wear marks using a confocal microscope

We offer high-quality tribological testing for a thorough evaluation of the wear and friction behavior of your components and/or coatings.

In connection with tribological testing, questions often arise regarding the durability of anti-corrosion coatings or the corrosion resistance of materials. We evaluate these using recognized, standardized test methods such as the salt spray test according to DIN EN ISO 9227, as well as HAST (DIN EN 60068-2-66) and PCT tests (DIN EN 60749-33). If necessary, the results obtained can be specifically correlated with microstructural characteristics and the chemical composition of the materials to clearly identify causes and mechanisms of action.
