Resumen:
The electrochemical deposition of metals and alloys has been used for over 100 years, mainly with decorative purposes. However, this technique has lately been employed to obtain functional coatings with excellent mechanical and tribological properties. As a result, determination of wear resistance and coefficient of friction (CoF) of has become of great interest for the both academic and industrial researchers in the field of electroplating. Nevertheless, no measuring devices were available in La Plata?s region making evaluation of large numbers of samples difficult or time consuming. For this reason, both a ball-on-disk and a ball-on-ring measuring setup were designed and constructed together with the data recording and processing device. The present manuscript presents the details of the equipment developed together with some preliminary results performed on well-characterized materials to assess the reliability of these home-made systems.
