Dry Sand Abrasion Test (ASTM G65)

 

Dry Sand Abrasion Test method is used to test the abrasive resistance of metals, composites, ceramics, weld overlays, and thermal spray coatings used in applications such as mining equipment, conveyor systems, and components exposed to abrasive environments. . Abrasion testing can provide data on material resistance under laboratory controlled conditions.

The process involves rubbing the samples specimen surface with the help of the rubber wheel with certain force applied and a continous flow of dry silica sand flowing at the interface.

LMATS has an experienced person who developed test procedures including custom designed equipments to measure Abradability Index (grinding performance) of bonded abrasive disc and coated abrasive papers.

The test equipment and the procedure were designed to measure Abradability Index quantitatively. All essential variables are identified and held constant while performing test. This results in quantitative mass loss per operating cycles. The mass loss and operating cycle parameters are used to determine the Abradability test.
