Friction and Wear Testing Source Book

A collection of key standards and reference articles about friction, lubrication, and wear makes this a valuable reference book to answer questions about wear mechanisms and testing, and how different measurement methods compare to each other. The focus is on test methods, with supporting material on analysis of wear-related failures. Selected information is reprinted from ASTM Standards, Volumes 2.05, 3.02, 5.02, 5.03 and 13.01, and ASM Handbooks, Volumes 8 (Mechanical Testing), 11 (Failure Analysis and Prevention), and 18 (Friction, Lubrication, and Wear Technology). Contents: Introduction on Friction and Wear Testing (includes basic tribological parameters, lab testing for solid friction, wear measurement and testing, design of friction and wear experiments, and friction and wear data) ASTM Standards on Friction, Lubrication, and Wear Testing (16 standards) Appendix (includes friction coefficients for selected materials and wear failures).
