초록
This paper was undertaken to analyze the morphology of wear debris generated from lubricated moving machine surfaces by image processing. The lubricati, ng wear test was performed under different experimental conditions using the wear test device made in our laboratory and wear test specimen of the pin on disk type wear rubbed in paraffme series base oil, by varying applied load, sliding distance. The four parameters (50% volumetric diameter, aspect, roundness and reflectivity) to describe the morphology have been developed and outlined in the paper. A system using such techniques promises to obviate the need for subjective, human interpretation of particle morphology in machine condition monitoring, thus to overcome many of the difficulties with current methods and to facilitate wider use of wear particle analysis in machine condition monitoring.
