Types of Wear

In this brief video, we'll delve into four key types of wear: abrasive, corrosive, surface fatigue, and adhesive. Abrasive wear occurs when hard particles or surfaces rub against softer ones, gradually causing material loss. Corrosive wear results from chemical reactions between a material and its environment, leading to surface deterioration. Surface fatigue arises from repeated loading and unloading, causing micro-cracks and eventual failure. Adhesive wear involves the transfer of material between surfaces due to friction, leading to surface damage. Understanding these wear types is vital in various industries for maintaining efficiency and durability. #tribology #wear #marineengineer #marineengineering #maritime #chemistry
