Abrasion Testing
Evaluating Surface Durability
Abrasion resistance testing helps evaluate how well a coated metal surface can withstand repeated rubbing, friction, and daily contact. For PVD coated stainless steel, this test is important because decorative surfaces are often used in high-touch areas such as elevator interiors, wall panels, doors, counters, and commercial spaces.
During testing, the sample is placed on a rotating platform while abrasion wheels or test materials apply controlled pressure to the surface. After a set number of cycles, the surface is inspected for visible wear, coating damage, thickness change, or weight loss.
At JYMT, abrasion testing helps us verify the durability and performance of our PVD finishes, giving customers greater confidence in the long-term appearance and reliability of the material.
