2. Tribological data and parameters
Wear is perceived differently, but has been defined by the OECD working group "Wear of Engineering Materials" [5] :
"The progressive loss of substance from the operating surface of a body occurring as a result of relative motion at the surface."
(1) Wear generally has a detrimental effect, but has a beneficial effect in its softer form, such as self-erosion.
(2) A surface may become unusable due to severe plastic deformation. Plastic deformation of micro-holes always occurs.
(3) In English, the general term "wear" includes mechanical, chemical and thermal effects. The German distinction between Abnutzung = wear plus corrosion and Verschleiß = wear does not exist in English.
(4) In German, a distinction is made between...
