Summary[edit]

Description

BANK OF CUSTOM-BUILT MACHINES PERMIT CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE SLIDING FRICTION AND WEAR TESTS TO BE PERFORMED.

TRI-BOLOGY RESEARCH AT ORNL BEGIN IN 1982 IN RESPONSE TO THE NEED TO DEVELOP CONCEPTS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH EFFICIENCY CERAMIC HEAT ENGINES. SOME OF THE NATION'S BEST TRI-BOLOGY TEST SYSTEMS ARE LOCATED IN ORNL'S HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS LABORATORY. THE EQUIPMENT IS CONFIGURED TO STUDY FRICTION AND WEAR AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES AND IN VARIOUS GASEOUS ENVIRONMENTS. THE FOUR SIDE-BY-SIDE UNITS IN THE FOREGROUND ARE USED FOR SLIDING FRICTION AND WEAR TESTING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, AND THE TALL UNIT BEHIND THEM IS USED FOR EXPERIMENTS ON ADVANCED MATERIALS AT TEMPERATURES UP TO 1000 DEGREES CENTIGRADE.
