Abstract:Mechanical surface preparation is a common technique for removing contaminants from surface metal layers. Unlike chemical preparation, it does not require special safety measures, including those for disposal of by-products or toxic materials, thus making it more accessible for different industries. We investigated tribological testing as the experimental method to determine the quality of the coating and the influence of the initial mechanical surface treatment. Samples were made of aluminium alloy EN AW 5083… Show more
