ISO 28080:2011 PDF

ISO 28080:2011 specifies a generic test method to determine the abrasion wear characteristics of hardmetals.

The procedure complements the ASTM G65 method for dry sand/rubber wheel abrasion, the ASTM B611 method for abrasive wear resistance of cemented carbides, and the ASTM G105 method for conducting wet sand/rubber wheel abrasion tests.

The test is appropriate for use in situations where test laboratories have a need to simulate abrasive damage. The procedure includes information which enables the test to be used in a variety of different conditions:

1. with counterface wheels of different stiffness (for example steel and rubber);
2. wet and dry;
3. different abrasive sizes;
4. different chemical environments.
