Wear
Wear occurs through a variety of mechanisms depending on the application and environment.
Select one of the following that your feel best represents the conditions of your application
Abrasive Wear - wear by hard particles, either loose or as contained in a product or sliding part
Adhesive Wear - wear between rubbing parts, either metals, plastics or ceramics; either lubricated or dry
Erosion Wear - wear by impinging particles or fluid streams
Fretting Wear - wear between parts in near-static contact, but with imposed vibrations or impacts
Scuffing Wear - wear and seizure between high speed, lubricated contacts like cams and tappets
Corrosive Wear - material removal as a result of combined corrosion and wear processes
