Material Galling Rig

CNR has developed bespoke rigs for material galling testing, in conjunction with leading University metallurgy research teams, providing automatic and semi-automatic testing of industry-standard test samples over a range of temperatures and motion cycles

Our Experience

Over the last 10 years, CNR has worked closely with University research departments to develop a wide range of test fixtures for aerospace, automotive, and materials testing. During this time we were approached by the University of Nottingham’s Faculty of Engineering to develop a rig capable of conducting material galling tests to ASTM standards. The resulting test rig has been designed to interface with force-testing apparatus and is capable of operating in an automatic and semi-automatic configuration.
