New Guide for Abrasion Resistance of Nickel-Boron or Nickel-Phosphorus Coatings by a Taber-Type Abraser
1. Scope
This guide quantifies the resistance of nickel-boron coatings or nickel-phosphorus coatings to abrasive wear. The coatings are produced by autocatalytic (electroless) deposition from aqueous solutions and applied to a plane, rigid surface.
During previous B08 meetings, it was agreed upon that the abrasion test method described in ASTM B607 – Appendix X2 and ASTM B733 – Appendix X1 should be their own separate guide. Due to the similarity of the procedures, this guide covers both materials.
