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

Modelling wear processes and prediction performance
