Rotating Wheel Abrasive Wear Testing
The wear of brakes and clutches occurs by the same mechanism, and is kept under control by the use of dissimilar materials. Surfaces subject to adhesive wear can end up polished, with the generation of fine flakes of wear debris, or can show severe surface damage associated with surface dragging or even seizure.
20 questions about wear
Abrasive wear is particles or abrasive material with either sliding, erosion or impact wear or a combination of these. Surface fatigue is a specific wear of components with high surface pressure levels, e.g. rails and bearings. 3. What influences wear of steel? The hardness of the steel and of the abrasive have the biggest influence.
