Impact sliding test method [14]. (a) Diagram of the impact sliding test method with labelled components, where 1 is ball specimen drive (e.g., air cylinder), 2 is ball specimen, 3 is flat specimen (i.e., coating), 4 is rigid frame, 5 is rotatable rocker, and 6 is return drive (e.g., spring). (b) Load versus time graph of surface undergoing the impact sliding test method.
