BS EN ISO 28080:2021

This standard BS EN ISO 28080:2021 Hardmetals. Abrasion tests for hardmetals is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.040.10 Mechanical testing of metals
• 77.160 Powder metallurgy

This document specifies a generic test method to determine the abrasion wear characteristics of hardmetals.

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.
