Mechanical Engineering Department is promoting development of new laboratory experiments in order to introduce engineering concepts and testing procedures advancing real life problems. The objective of this lab is to recognize the effects of harsh environmental conditions on the materials’ surface. Students will investigate different forms of wear (abrasion, scratch and erosion) by using testing procedures able to simulate environmental conditions in accelerated modes. Different material surfaces (molded and 3D printed polymers, ceramics and metallic coupons) are exposed to abrasion, scratch and erosion. The corresponding wear tests is performed using reciprocating abrasion and scratch tester (ISO 1518) and an oscillating sand abrasion/ erosion tester (ASTM F735). Different tips (abrasion grades) and sand qualities (silica and alumina) are used for evaluating the abrasion/ erosion wear performance. This paper is reporting the work in progress of a new lab development. The lab conception involves establishing the testing conditions (abrasion, scratch and erosion), specifications of testing time or/ and number of cycles for a lab setting. The wear results are evaluated using an electronic balance and further optical microscopy evaluation is used for evaluating the wear tracks morphology. The 2D profiler (KLA) helps monitoring the change of the roughness profile for samples under investigation. The laboratory will offer guidance for materials selection, optimization and will advance students “ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions” (ABET, Outcome 6).
