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 Jiu-You Metal Tech, 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.
