Comparison of materials with the block-on-ring wear test and the results observed.

In one experiment, the NiCrBSi castellan PE 3309 alloy was flame sprayed onto prism-shaped grey cast iron, and in another, the alloy was laser remelted.Block-on-ring testThe laser remelted coating wore out faster. The most common wear mechanism discovered is adhesion.[42]
The substrate is grey cast iron, and the coating material is NiCrBSi alloy powder.Block-on-ring testSliding speed had little to no effect on the wear rate as observed during the sliding test.
Adhesive wear was observed at the highest loads.

Al coated with a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite and Al coated with a polyetheretherketone/SiC (PEEK/SiC) compositeBlock-on-ring testCompared to aluminum substrates, both polymer coatings showed a substantial improvement in wear resistance. In most sliding conditions, the addition of SiC to polymer coatings improved wear resistance even further.[44]
WC-Co cemented carbidesBlock-on-ring testAs the binder content of the WC-Co alloys increased, the wear rate caused by slipping increased.[45]
