Abstract
In this work, we present the design and construction of a prototype of a new tribometer that allows to measure the abrasive wear in metallic parts, immersed in aqueous medium. To get the objective, the conceptual design of the machine was done first, to continue with the construction of the components of the tribometer, to finish with the assembling of the parts. A large number of lab tests were performed to ensure that the design requirements were achieved, that will allow to realize tests of different materials in front of this kind of wear. Significant improvements in the wear resistance of the material with thermal treatment were observed in relation to the reference material.
