Characterization of Abrasive Wear by Mass Loss and Acoustic Emission using the Ball-on-Plate Testing
DownloadSpring 2022
The present work developed an automated ball-on-plate abrasive wear tester and examined the material abrasion wear resistance by volume loss and their acoustic emission characteristics. The performance of three types of materials with varying material properties, including aluminum,...
