Analysis of Two Body Abrasive Wear on Machine Parts Due To Single Wear Particle

Abstract

The multi-particle abrasive wear mechanism includes the mechanisms of plastic deformation, micro cutting and brittle fracture depending on the material subject to the wear. The plastic deformation we occurs through the fatigue removal of the material around the groove formed by abrasive particles. In the micro cutting wear, the abrasive particle removes chips from the material thorough cutting. The micro crack (brittle fracture) we occurs on ceramic type materials. In these materials, the we volume is larger than the volume of the grove formed by the abrasive particles. In this study, the abrasive we mechanisms on both ductile and brittle materials are analyzed.
