The Sir Henry Royce Institute \(SHRI\) will lead the accelerated discovery and development of advanced materials\. A High Temperature Tribometer is required for the evaluation of surface treatments and coatings for high temperature tribological applications, to study friction and wear and characteristics of a variety of bulk materials and coatings under dry and lubricated sliding contact conditions\.
