Abstract

This report describes an interlaboratory exercise that was being carried out within the EU funded CRATER project that has the aim of standardising the micro-scale abrasion test for wear testing of coatings.
The interlaboratory exercise was carried out to validate the test procedure that has been used to form the revision to ENV 1071-6, Micro-scale abrasion of coatings.
The interlaboratory exercise had 14 participants. It was found that the micro-scale abrasion technique has reasonable reproducibility and repeatability when compared with other wear tests.
Annexes to the report give the procedure for the interlaboratory exercise, and list the participants in the exercise, and define the analysis method that was used.
