E-grāmata: Guide to Wear Problems and Testing for Industry

This book shows engineers how to save money when dealing with machinery wear. Machine component wear is one of the costliest problems facing industry. In fact, a 1997 survey placed wear costs at 25% of turnover, or approximately $1 billion.
This handbook reviews component wear, testing methods for materials and wear mechanisms, information on wear performance of different materials available for components, and guides the reader through solutions to wear problems. The bottom line is..."the bottom line" can be reduced by removing risks associated with machinery wear.
Detailed information contained in this book includes: 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; comparisons of the wear performance of those materials; reviews of laboratory tests used to simulate wear; selection of appropriate tests; identification of improved materials; and examination of worn surfaces.
This is a book for practitioners. Clear and concise writing make this text an invaluable reference for everyday use by engineers. The contents are based on an interactive four-year study of industrial wear problems and in-depth testing in research laboratories.
The book is illustrated with an 8-page color section, close-up photos of typical wear patterns, line diagrams of test apparatus, and handy-reference data tables.

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.
