Study of Wear Characteristics for Various Coating Materials

Wear is defined as the progressive loss of substance from the surfaces of the solid body caused by the mechanical action like contact or relative motion between the bodies. The debris method currently used to quantify wear produces results strongly dependent on conditions. This test explains the wear characteristics under various coated methods, Adhesion and other mechanical behaviour of coatings at present routinely tested in industry and research organizations using the wear test. Where a simple procedure was conducted on pin-on-disc experiment to stimulate the industrial wear problems. Various coating methods where done on the 0.18% low carbon steel and the wear test was done under normal load, and sliding speed. After the wear test studying the friction force of the wear and volume loss in the wear is studied .Wear analysis is characterized by the SEM (scanning electron microscope), Surface roughness test was also carried out for coated and uncoated material and stimulate in ANSYS for contact stress analysis and validate the results.
