I am attempting to differentiate various polymeric materials and am most interested in identifying what material is or is not acrylic. Are there any common solvents that would help differentiate acrylic from other polymer families when applied to the surface? I am looking for something that...
I agree that the same material would be preferred. Would the coating thickness help to negate some of the differences caused by using alternate materials? In essence, does the chemical make up of the substrate impact the mechanical properties of the coating?
That was my initial consideration in searching for a sufficient replacement material. I don't know if there is any significant chemical bonding interaction between these type of coatings and the substrate. If the adhesion mechanism is primarily mechanical then any equivalently textured low...
So a little more information then:
The parts will be cylindrical and oscillate axially along a ceramic surface so the production will use 1215 bar. The goal of these tests are to determine wear trending as the coating application process conditions change which leads to a need for a high...
I am attempting to simulate the wear characteristics of a PTFE coating on a 1215 bearing surface. 1215 is only available in bars and my wear tester is designed for thin coupons. Ideally I would punch 1215 coupons from sheet stock but since it is not available, is there any kind of equivalent...
