Abrasive Wear Assessment of X70 Steel and Polyurethane Coupons on a Modified Dry/Sand Rubber Wheel Apparatus
DownloadFall 2013
An experimental study was conducted to assess the scratching abrasion in dry and wet environments on X-70 steel and five different types of titanium carbide particulate polyurethane composites (PU). A testing apparatus was constructed based on the dry sand rubber wheel test method standardized by...
