Abstract
Abrasion wear resistance is very important in many applications and it is not a surprise that there are many laboratory test methods for its determination. In this article, a possibility of the abrasive wear resistance determination with scratch tester, as a relatively easy and quick test method, was analysed and compared with the standard test method for pin abrasion testing (ASTM G 132). Materials used in the tests were: two ferrous-based coatings (deposited on an Al–Si alloy substrate with atmospheric plasma spraying), two aluminium-based composite materials with 10 wt% of Al2O3 reinforcements (produced with compocasting technique) and grey cast iron, known as a material with good abrasive wear resistance. Coefficient of friction and wear of the samples were investigated with both abrasion wear test methods and analysed in correlation with their mechanical properties.
