Abstract
The results of studying parameters of the surface layer after the tribological testing of different materials using a low-vacuum Phenom ProX scanning electron microscope are presented. It is shown that its use for the analysis of surface layers provides a very accurate estimate of their main parameters, i.e., volume topography and chemical composition for an insignificant (several seconds) sample setup time. The results of analysis of worn surfaces of FeGr1Cu19Sn0.9(MoS2)0.5 powder steels obtained by sintering and infiltration of a copper alloy, oxidized aluminum alloy AlCu4MgSi, and Vitalium Co-Cr-Mo alloy used for dental prostheses are presented as examples.
