Resistance to abrasion The resistance to abrasion of electroless nickel-phosphorus hardened to 600 Hy, assessed by Taber abrasion tests, has been found to be double that of electroplated nickel However, electroless nickel coatings are not suitable for applications where two electroless nickel surfaces rub together without lubrication unless the values of hardness are made to differ by over 200 Hy units. Galling of aluminium, titanium or stainless steel may be overcome by applying electroless nickel to one of the two mating surfaces. 

There is usually more than one test method to determine a performance because each test has its own behavior and meaning. As an example there are different tests used to determine the abrasion resistance of materials. There is the popular Taber abrasion test. It determines the weight loss of a plastic or other material after it is subjected to abrasion for a prescribed number of the abrader disk rotations (usually 1000). The abrader consists of an idling abrasive speed controlled rotating wheel with the load applied to the wheel. The abrasive action on the circular specimen is subjected to a rotary motion.

The only method currently standardised internationally for plastics is the abrasive wheels method, more commonly known as the Taber abraser, which is specified in ISO 9352 [42]. A pair of abrasive wheels are in contact with a driven flat disk test piece as in Figure 6.1(d). The force on the wheels and the nature of the abradant is readily varied and the test can be carried out in the presence of liquids. 

The rotary-platform, double-head or Taber abrader, unlike those mentioned above, was not developed by the rubber industry but was intended for very general use. It is of the form (d) in Figure 11.4 but uses a pair of abrasive wheels. Although the degree of slip cannot be varied, the Taber is in other ways a very versatile apparatus. It uses a simple flat disc as the test piece which could, if necessary, be fabricated from more than one piece. The force on the test piece and the nature of the abradant are very readily varied and tests can be carried out in the presence of liquid or powder lubricants. When using the usual type of abrasive wheel, a refacing procedure is carried out before each material tested. 

The Frick-Taber63 test is a modified Taber, in which loose abradant is introduced between wheel and test piece, used particularly in the evaluation of flooring materials. It is specified in EN 660-264.

The Taber abrader test for abrasion resistance of the mastic shows that the mastic has an abrasion resistance of rubber tile and unprinted linoleum. 

Abrasive wear is a complex combination of a number of factors, including resilience, stiffness, thermal resistance, thermal stability, resistance to cutting, and tearing (Smith, 1993). There are a number of laboratory tests, both international standards and commercial tests, for the evaluation of abrasive wear. The results from these tests normally represent only an indication of the actual wear that can be found in practice. The test equipment generally has a loaded sample against course abradant or, in the case of a Taber abrader, a loaded abrasive wheel against a flat sample (see Chapter 8). 

The resistance to wear of most plain colour laminates is typically about 700 revolutions in the Taber test—adequate for most applications without need for a protective overlay. 

Printed laminates with no overlay are intended only for very light duty applications they have a wear resistance (Taber test) of around 80 to 100 revolutions, compared with 400 to 600 revolutions achieved normally by horizontal grade print laminates. 

Whereas Trost and Takano established the usefulness of late transition metals and their complexes for the construction of the dendrobine skeleton, Mori et al. demonstrated the advantage of the more stable early transition-metal complexes in the synthesis of dendrobine (82) (167-169). They presented their formal EPC-synthesis centered on Negishi s (Taber s) zirconium-assisted cyclization in several publications (189,190). Mori et al. tried to test their key step with a model synthesis (191).

Several performance characteristics of rubber such as abrasion resistance, pendulum rebound, Mooney viscosity, modulus, Taber die swell, and rheological properties can be modeled by Eq 7.34. " A complex mathematical model, called links-nodes-blobs was also developed and experimentally tested to express the properties of a filled rubber network system. Blobs are the filler aggregates, nodes are crosslinks and links are interconnecting chains. The model not only allows for... 

The difference between Eqs. 7.84 and 7.85 is that the Darcy velocity is used in Eq. 7.84, whereas the pressure gradient and permeability are used in Eq. 7.85. When core flood tests were run at a constant velocity (thus, a constant v a/a), it appeared that the oil recovery increased for those rocks with lower permeabilities (Taber et al., 1973). Clearly, the higher recovery was not a...

Abrasion or resistance to abrasion is a function of the plastic, the ingredients in the plastic, the surface of the plastic, etc. Under test ASTM D1044 abrasion is related to loss in mg under standard conditions. Wear or abrasion has a relationship with the surface properties, i.e. coefficient of friction. DIN 53754E (Taber abrasion) is a similar test using a gritty material on an abrader wheel which measures wear against a number of wheel revolutions. 

Abrasion resistance is usually measured by the Taber Test procedure described by ASTM D1044. Abrasion resistance of unfilled semicrystalline polymers is linked to the degree of crystallinity that is itself related to the molecular stmcture and weight of the resin and its processing. Table 3.54 includes the results of testing two types of perfluoroalkoxy polymers, PFA and MFA, and ECTFE. Notice the large difference between wear index (weight loss by abrasion in 1000 cycles) of ECTFE which is a partially...
