  2. Wear coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_coefficient

    The wear rate per unit sliding distance in the transient wear regime decreases until it has reached a constant value in the steady-state wear regime. Hence the standard wear coefficient value obtained from a volume loss versus distance curve is a function of the sliding distance.

  3. Wear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear

    The wear rate is affected by factors such as type of loading (e.g., impact, static, dynamic), type of motion (e.g., sliding, rolling), temperature, and lubrication, in particular by the process of deposition and wearing out of the boundary lubrication layer. [5] Depending on the tribosystem, different wear types and wear mechanisms can be observed.

  4. Abrasion (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasion_(mechanical)

    Surface roughness resulting from abrasion wear on a spindle. Abrasion is the process of scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, or rubbing away. It can be intentionally imposed in a controlled process using an abrasive. Abrasion can be an undesirable effect of exposure to normal use or exposure to the elements.

  5. Archard equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archard_equation

    The Archard wear equation is a simple model used to describe sliding wear and is based on the theory of asperity contact. The Archard equation was developed much later than Reye's hypothesis [] (sometimes also known as energy dissipative hypothesis), though both came to the same physical conclusions, that the volume of the removed debris due to wear is proportional to the work done by friction ...

  6. Tribometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribometer

    The coefficient of friction is determined by the ratio of the frictional force to the loading force on the pin. The pin on disc test has proved useful in providing a simple wear and friction test for low friction coatings such as diamond-like carbon coatings on valve train components in internal combustion engines.

  7. Lubricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricity

    This is often done by determining how much wear is caused to a surface by a given wear-inducing object in a given amount of time. Other factors such as surface size, temperature, and pressure are also specified. For two fluids with the same viscosity, the one that results in a smaller wear scar is considered to have higher lubricity.

  9. Los Angeles abrasion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_abrasion_test

    The Los Angeles abrasion test (LA abrasion) is the North American standard for testing toughness (resistance to abrasion and degradation [1]) of construction aggregate or gravel and its suitability for road construction.
