Wear and Tribological Characterization – Training Services

Wear and Tribological Characterization – Training Services provides in-depth training on techniques to evaluate friction, wear, and lubrication properties of materials and surfaces. The program covers the fundamentals of tribology, types of wear mechanisms (abrasive, adhesive, fatigue, and corrosive), and testing methods such as pin-on-disk, reciprocating wear, and block-on-ring tests. Participants will gain hands-on experience in instrument operation, sample preparation, and measurement of wear rates and friction coefficients. The training also emphasizes the role of surface engineering, coatings, and lubricants in improving material performance. Applications in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, biomaterials, and energy systems are highlighted. By the end of the course, learners will be proficient in conducting tribological testing and interpreting results for research, product development, and industrial quality assurance.
