Synopsis

Machine component wear is one of the costliest problems within industry. In fact, a 1997 survey in the UK placed wear costs at 25% of turnover, or approximately $1 billion. In many cases, making design and or material changes can reduce this cost by 50% or more! This handbook reviews component wear, and guides the reader through solutions to wear problems, testing methods for materials and wear mechanisms, and information on wear performance of different materials for components. The bottom line is that it helps to reduce ""the bottom line"" removing risks associated with changes to machinery.This book is based on practical use. It outlines the following practices: reviews of wear mechanisms that occur in various types of machinery and solutions to industrial wear problems; guides to relative wear performance of different component materials; comparison of the wear performance of those materials; reviews of laboratory tests to simulate wear, and selection of appropriate tests; identification of improved materials, and; examination of worn surfaces.

Quatrième de couverture

Guide to Wear Problems and Testing for Industry is unique.It is the first publication to make information on solutions towear problems and testing readily accessible. Clear and concise,this practical Guide will be an invaluable everyday reference toolfor engineers.

Engineers in industry will find useful advice on solvingproblems  based on an understanding of basic wearmechanisms. Ways in which new materials can be tested inlaboratories are also examined. This will all help successfulapplication in real situations.

For research engineers and scientists in  testinglaboratories and universities, the Guide to Wear Problems andTesting for Industry provides practical guidance on theselection and operation of appropriate wear test methods forvarious materials and wear mechanisms.

  • Solution of industrial wear problems
  • Wear tests to simulate practical conditions
  • Selecting the appropriate wear test
  • Exaiminatin of worn services
  • Recommended tests, operating conditions, and procedures

A major study, drawing on international experience ofindustrial wear problems and indepth testing in researchlaboratories, was carried out over four years to develop thispublication. Support from the UK Department of Trade and Industryhelped to fund this massive undertaking. The resulting informationwill benefit engineers worldwide.

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), UK, have made a majorinput from their extensive experience of carrying out laboratorywear testing, co–ordinated by Dr. Mark Gee. Neale ConsultingEngineers have added their worldwide experience of solvingpractical wear problems in industry, and have co–ordinated thelinks between theory and practice.
