Description
An important volume in the "Tribology in Practice" Series (TIPS). Guide to Wear Problems and Testing for Industry is the first publication to make information on solutions to wear problems and testing readily accessible.
Engineers in industry will find useful advice on solving problems based on an understanding of basic wear mechanisms. Ways in which new materials can be tested in laboratories are also examined. This will all help successful application in real situations. For research
engineers and scientists in testing laboratories and universities, the Guide to Wear Problems and Testing for Industry provides practical guidance on the selection and operation of appropriate wear test methods for various materials and wear mechanisms.
COMPLETE CONTENTS:
Introduction
Industrial wear problems
Wear tests to simulate practical conditions
A guide to wear test selection
A guide to the examination of the worn surfaces
A summary of the approach to wear testing. A
useful appendix provides detailed descriptions of
the various tests and their operating conditions.
