8 Questions
What is the assumption regarding contact between two surfaces in terms of asperities?
The contact occurs where asperities touch, and the true area of contact is equal to the sum of individual asperity contact areas.
Which factor plays a major role in a material's resistance to corrosive wear?
Material properties
What type of deformation is expected for the asperities during contact?
Plastic deformation
What is the subject of Tribochemistry?
Chemical reactions occurring in the contacting zone
What significantly impacts the wear rate in corrosive environments?
Type of relative motion
What will the true area of contact between surfaces be proportional to?
Normal load
Which factor significantly affects the rate of wear and protective layer formation?
Relative motion
What plays a major role in determining a material's resistance to corrosive wear?
Material properties
Test your knowledge on abrasive wear of brittle materials, focusing on the generation of wear particles due to brittle fractures caused by crack initiation and propagation. This quiz is based on the cross-sectional profiles of mating wear surfaces of 0.45% carbon steel after pin-on-ring sliding.
