ABSTRACT

 This review describes work carried out under the project on wear test measuring apparatus so as to evaluate the wear property of a material and to determine whether the material is adequate for a specific wear application. The purpose of this project is to study the application of the principle of friction on a pin into the circular disc, determine the rate at which the specimen (pin) wears, and calculate the pressure of two types ofpin (mild steel and aluminum) towards the circular mild disc. The parameters that was used to get the results are toque, moment, force applied, speed of rotalion, duration of lest and total revolution per minute disc rotation. The tachometer was used to measure the revolution per minute of the disc surface. By doing that, we accurately calculated the volume lost and the wear rate of the materials. As we know that pin wear tester is crucial to the development of new and improved cost-saving applications, therefore with this product. we hope that we can do something new and refreshing that can be used by everyone especially in the industry and metallurgical lab. To analyze the pin wear tester. solidworks and finile element analysis (FEA) software was used to estimate the wear a-priori. As accuracy of calculuted wear values strongly depends on the state of stress and strain in the components, accurate modeling of the state of stress and strain is essential. After the analysis the wear rate of Aluminum is 1.36 x 10-9 and the wear rate of Mild steel is 3.60 x 10-10 therefore the result data show thal Aluminum is more effective to friction compare to Mild steel.
