Advances in Wear Particle Analysis.

摘要

Nine areas of investigation are described to improve wear particle analysis for machine condition monitoring through oil analysis. The nine areas are: (1) Use of temper colors to identify wear particles on ferrograms; (2) Quantimet analysis applied to ferrograms; (3) Calibration of the direct reading ferrograph; (4) Particle concentration equilibrium in lubricating oil; (5) Study of an oil sampling filter; (6) Support to applications of the delamination theory of wear; (7) Application of ferrography to hydraulic fluids; (8) A more quantitative ferrogram analysis sheet; and (9) Support to The Technical Cooperation Program.
