Product
Fretting Tester
FFT Series
-
Fretting wear is a test where surface damage occurs between two contacting surfaces experiencing oscillatory displacement of small amplitude. At the contact point, lubricant/coating is squeezed out or the low amplitude motion does not permit the contact area to be re lubricated/ debris dislodge resulting in serious local wear occurs. This type of wear causes two-body abrasion, adhesion and/or fretting fatigue wear.

Air Jet Erosion Tester
AJ-1000
-
The Rtec Instruments Air Jet Erosion Tester (AJ-1000) is a state-of-the-art solution for accurate air jet erosion testing of materials and coatings. Designed to perform repeated impact tests, the AJ-1000 directs a high-velocity jet of gas carrying abrasive particles onto the sample surface to precisely measure erosion rates. This advanced tester offers closed-loop temperature control up to 1000°C, enabling erosion studies under extreme environmental conditions. With the ability to vary abrasive particle type, shape, size, temperature, and impact velocity, the AJ-1000 provides a reliable way to rank and compare the erosion resistance of diverse materials and protective coatings.
