ABSTRACT
The neglection of friction in
most engineering designs has cause more damages due to the inability to
ascertain the exact material and the rate at which the material can wear. Wear
is defined as damage to a solid surface, generally involving progressive loss
of material, due to relative motion between that surface and a contacting
substance or surface (Gurumoorthy et al, 2007). Wear is generally described as
abrasive, adhesive or erosive (Allen and Ball, 1996). Among these types,
abrasive wear is the most important due to its destructive character
(Chattopadhyay, 2001). Abrasive wear is the detachment of the material from
surfaces in relative motion, caused by sliding of hard particles between the
opposing surfaces; the hard particles normally slide on a softer surface and detach
materials from the latter (Harris et al, 2002).
