Questions and Answers

What is the difference between erosion and corrosion?

  • Erosion is a chemical reaction between a material and its environment, while corrosion is a physical-mechanical process of material removal.
  • Erosion is a mechanical process of material removal from a sliding or rolling component, while corrosion is a physical-mechanical process of material removal by flow of wind or water.
  • Erosion is generally proportional to load and the distance of sliding, while corrosion is not influenced by load or sliding distance.
  • Erosion is a physical-mechanical process of material removal by flow of wind or water, while corrosion is a chemical reaction between a material and its environment. (correct)

Which type of wear is characterized by material removal due to the flow of wind or water?

  • Adhesive wear
  • Abrasive wear
  • Erosion wear (correct)
  • Fretting wear

What is necessary to determine when analyzing a wear problem in a machine?

  • The temperature at which the wear occurred
  • The chemical composition of the worn area
  • The type of lubricant used
  • The load and distance of sliding (correct)
