Abstract :
A diagnostic technique that can estimate quantitatively wear amounts under lubricated condition was developed using our developed on-line particle counter. Wear tests were carried out by rubbing a bearing metal against a carbon steel in paraffin oil. The size and number of wear debris in the circulating oil could be measured in real time. The volume of each debris was calculated and, additionally, the total wear amount during a given duration was calculated by accumulating all debris volume. The wear amounts obtained by the quantitative estimation were fairly similar to the measured values of mass loss of the specimen.
