Full article:

Given the current demands in developing novel materials for applications that necessitate effective surface interactions during contact, it becomes apparent that comprehending the friction behavior of material pairs and products using laboratory equipment like tribometers and wear simulators holds significant value in research endeavors. Practically speaking, these requirements span across various fields, from medical and dental domains, where the rise in implant usage and the need for reoperations due to prosthetic wear become crucial, to the overall service life of materials and components. Contact mechanics and tribological performance find applications in diverse sectors of society. Aiming to provide a simple and low-cost method to evaluate wear in different materials, a benchtop tribometer prototype was developed to perform wear tests by sliding, through the handmade methodology.
