NEW! - High Temperature Hot Forming Tribometer

Process of hot forming is performed under severe conditions of pressure and temperature at tool contact. Surface of tool in contact with job suffers wear due to flow of hot metal. Estimation of tool life requires friction and wear data under realistic conditions. The Ducom High Temperature "Hot Forming" Tribometer is an apparatus for physical analysis of sliding contacts and expansion of test strip under wide range of conditions. 

Relevance: Metal Forming, Metal Working, High Speed Rolling and Drawing.

Ducom Instruments is now  in Europe!

For tribological characterization of bulk materials and coatings at ambient and elevated temperatures. Study of influence of vacuum on the tribological properties in combination with temperatures and operating conditions is possible.
Relevance: Space Tribology, Aerospace, Thermal Barrier Coatings, High Temperature Materials, Tribological studies, Defense.

Micro Tribometer (Micro PoD) by Ducom

For thin films and soft coatings characterization studies, Elevated temperature testing and other test options for scalable test capability.
Relevance: Bio Materials, Thin Films, Thermal Barrier Coatings, High Temperature Materials, MEMS devices.

Tribo-Corrosion studies using the inver PoD

Materials in corrosive and submerged environments encounter corrosion. Tribological behavior of materials in these conditions can effectively be studied using the Inver PoD by Ducom.
Relevance: Marine Equipment, Chemical Industries, Outdoor Equipment Defense, Corrosion Resistant Materials, Polymers, Plastics, Passivation Layers.
