Wear, abrasion, friction of metallic parts

Understand and characterise wear and friction phenomena

Your expectations

  • You would like to understand a deterioration phenomenon of the surface of your parts

  • You would like to improve wear resistance, optimise a coating or surface treatment

  • You would like to obtain better lubrication

  • You would like to solve problems of seizing, cavitation, abrasion, etc.

  • You would like to design a product that takes into consideration the problems of tribology

  • You are seeking reliable analysis and characterisation methods

Our solutions

  • A team of tribologists specialised in the area of characterisation of wear and friction phenomena.

  • A laboratory dedicated to the science of friction: tribology

  • Characterisation benches reproducing wear and friction phenomena.

  • Surface treatment measurement and analysis equipment: depth and properties of a surface treatment, coating thickness.

Your benefits

  • Recognised expertise in tribology

  • Customised support in the design of your products

  • Access to efficient tests and simulation equipment

  • Tailored and responsive service providing you with a dedicated laboratory

  • Access to the multidisciplinary skills of metallurgical teams to optimise your products

  • Expertise pertaining to the whole of the usual metal processing (machining-bar turning, metallic additive manufacturing, rolling, forging, etc.).

  • An independent laboratory and a major player in the aerospace, automobile, medical and energy sectors.
