EN 12373-10 Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys - Measurement of Wear Resistance of Anodic Oxidation Coatings

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 12373-10 test. This part of this European Standard covers a test method for comparing the wear resistance of anodic oxidation coatings on aluminum and its alloys with that of a standard sample, or alternatively a reference sample, using a jet of abrasive particles. The average specific corrosion resistance of an anodic oxidation coating can be determined by the described method.

EN 12373-10 Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys - Measurement of Wear Resistance of Anodic Oxidation Coatings

This parameter refers to the ability of the anodic oxidation coating to resist wear under certain conditions. It involves measuring the amount of material loss due to corrosive action.

The method uses a special apparatus containing an abrasive jet to simulate corrosive conditions. This apparatus was probably designed to subject coated samples to controlled abrasion.

EN 12373-10 probably provides a detailed procedure for carrying out abrasive blast testing. This may include sample preparation, operating conditions of the abrasive jet apparatus, and measuring and calculating the average specific wear resistance.

This standard applies to anodized coatings on aluminum and its alloys. The method is used to evaluate the wear resistance of coatings, especially where abrasive wear is of concern.
