SAN ANTONIO — March 6, 2023 —A Southwest Research Institute team has developed a mechanical testing device to analyze fluids and lubricants formulated for electric vehicles. The team modified a ...

ICC friction testers are designed to measure the average coefficient of a paved surface in accordance with ASTM E274, and measure the peak or incipient slip friction of a paved surface in accordance ...

Thompson Friction Welding'sE100 extends the use of linear friction welding through its ability to weld anarea nearly twice as large as previously achieved (a surface area of 10,000 mm 2).It also uses ...

Friction and wear pose enormous challenges to 21st Century mechanical and electromechanical systems. By one estimate, 6% of the gross national product is wasted through its impact. Tribology is the ...

In this webinar, we cover the motivation and method of a bench-top screening test for the friction characteristics of wet clutch materials and automatic transmission fluids (ATFs). A critical ...

• Excessive seal friction wastes energy, accelerates wear, and can lead to premature failure. • Too little friction makes a seal prone to leak. • Pressure-activated hydraulic seals minimize both ...

Materials testing is a respected and established technique that is used to ascertain both the physical and mechanical properties of raw materials and components. It can be used to examine almost ...
