ISO 23737-2021 “Methods for evaluating wear and friction properties of fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) thin films under wet and dry conditions”

introduction
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a global federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The development of international standards is usually carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member group interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on the Committee. International organizations, governments and non-governmental organizations in contact with ISO are also involved in this work. ISO works closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrical standardization.

Part 1 of the ISO/IEC Directive describes the procedures used to develop this document and for further maintenance. In particular, attention should be paid to the different approval criteria required for different types of ISO documents. This document has been drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of ISO/IEC Directive Part 2 (see iso.org/directives).

introduce
Fine ceramic films are used in a variety of applications, such as sensors, actuators or other micromechanical components; Display element; Memory element; Recording media; Optical components; Packaging film; As well as films and glass for buildings and vehicles. In the industrial application of fine ceramic films, wear resistance is an important index for evaluation. The wear resistance of fine ceramic films is greatly affected by the ambient humidity and the humidity history of the films. Fine ceramic films are also used in different humidity environments, requiring criteria for evaluating wear resistance and coefficient of friction over a wide humidity range. The standards published to date for wear resistance testing only assume a temperature environment of 23 °C and a relative humidity of 50%; The thickness of the film to be measured is also relatively large, several to 10μm. These test procedures are not suitable for evaluating the wear resistance of fine ceramic films with thickness up to approximately 1 µm and applied to electronic and optical devices because the wear resistance of small indentation loads is affected by relative humidity in the test environment, i.e. the mechanism used in the wear testing of fine ceramic films with small indentation loads is strongly affected by the relative humidity of the test environment. Therefore, the wear test of fine ceramic films should be carried out under the specified relative humidity conditions. This document provides measurement methods that help to accurately evaluate the wear resistance of fine ceramic films in dry and high humidity environments, such films can be up to about 1 µm thick and deposited on thin substrates or organic polymer films. The purpose of this document is to promote industrial development through the rapid dissemination of these measurement methods.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 20507 and the following apply.

3.2 Friction Force

The resistance exerted on a relative body when objects in contact move or tend to slide against each other

3.3 Friction coefficient

The dimensionless ratio of friction to applied normal force

3.4 Wear Test

Tests to evaluate the friction and wear characteristics caused by sliding contact motion

Note 1: In a narrow sense, the term “wear test” refers to the process by which wear occurs on the specimen as a result of sliding motion; In a broad sense, it means processes such as sample preparation, wear formation, friction coefficient measurement, and evaluation of wear tracks and wear parts formed on inverse materials.
