Bruker and University of Sheffield invited you to an interactive workshop focusing on mechanical and tribological testing. Oral presentations will introduce the key tribology fundamentals and practical challenges. Commonly applied testing methods will be outlined with case studies applicable to UK industry.
Examples will include commonly applied pin and ball linear and rotary testing methods in ambient fluid, high temperature and different atmospheric environments. Methods to qualify processes such as fretting, erosion, corrosion delamination and fatigue will be covered.
- Learn how to optimally solve friction, wear and lubrication challenges
- Presentations from leading groups in academia and industry
- Topics include lubricants, scratch test, tribo-corrosion, metrology
- Practical workshops and networking opportunities
Delegates will see a range of tests in action in practical workshops that will include high temperature testing, lubricant testing, scratch, indentation and tribo-corrosion. Optical and stylus metrology methods to characterise and quantify wear will be discussed and demonstrated.
Speakers include:
- Mark Rainforth, University of Sheffield
"Dynamic surface structures induced by frictional contact"
- Michael Burkinshaw, Cummins Turbo Technologies, Huddersfield
"Turbocharger Tribology"
- Steve Shaffer, Bruker Tribology & Mechanical Testing, Campbell, USA
"No fretting about friction: understanding the fundamentals of tribo-testing"
- Chris Gregory, Bruker Nano Surfaces, Coventry
"Quantifying Wear, Scratch and Indentation using non-contact 3D metrology"
The event will be of interest to anyone involved in tribology and mechanical testing from R&D to production. Focus sectors will include across automotive, aerospace, medical devices, implants, lubricants/seals, personal care and respective component supply chains. There will be ample opportunities for networking and to foster collaborations.
