Probe-Type Material Surface Wear Scar Tester
Category：Abrasion Tester
Introduction
The Probe-Type Material Surface Wear Scar Tester is a precision device designed for high-accuracy measurement of wear scars formed on material surfaces after friction and wear tests. It can automatically measure scar width and depth, calculate wear volume, and display two-dimensional profile maps for intuitive visualization of wear morphology. The instrument quantitatively evaluates material surface wear and abrasion resistance. Additionally, it can function as a step gauge to measure coating thickness and surface profiles, making it widely applicable in material research, coating evaluation, and industrial quality control.

Test Principle
The instrument uses a probe to scan along the wear scar either transversely or longitudinally, measuring scar width and depth while recording wear volume. Minute vertical displacements of the probe are captured with high precision to form a two-dimensional wear scar profile, reflecting material surface wear. The device allows quantitative evaluation of coating or material abrasion resistance and can perform step or profile measurements, providing reliable data for material performance research.
Operation Instructions
Ensure proper connection of power, and that the probe and sample fixture are securely installed.
Select appropriate scanning parameters and measurement ranges based on scar size and depth.
Do not manually touch moving probes or samples during testing to ensure safety.
After the test, save data and generate 2D profile maps and wear volume reports via software.
Regularly inspect the probe for wear and replace as needed to maintain measurement accuracy.
