20th International Conference on Wear of Materials

12-16 April 2015

The Sheraton Centre, Toronto, Canada

The 20th International Conference on Wear of Materials will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progress in recent decades and a special session will concentrate on modeling of wear.

Micro Scratch Testing CrN Coating on Titanium Alloy

Submitted by NANOVEA on

Specific Coatings are used to further increase performance of titanium alloy parts at elevated temperatures. More specifically, Chromium Nitride (CrN) Coatings are designed to perform under conditions of high load and temperature. By using scratch testing it is possible to detect premature adhesive failure of the CrN coating in real-life applications.
