Tribometer for Ultra Harsh Environments

Abstract

High temperature structural materials that exhibit structural, functional and multifunctional properties are needed to improve the performance of aeronautics and aerospace components. The major challenge for the application of materials at ultra harsh environments is the lack of understanding about their potential which is partly due to lack of experimental data at the harsh environmental conditions. In this report, we summarize the technical accomplishments for the Defense University Research Instrumentation Project (DURIP) that aims to develop a tribological test system for ultra-harsh environments.
