The solution of wear problems starts with a detailed examination of the
tribological system with all influence factors that are involved.
From this, it can be deduced what frictional conditions and wear
mechanisms are to be reckoned with and when they come into play.
Typical wear mechanisms are:
In practice, more than one of these effects is active at any given time
or they occur consecutively during the wearing process. However, it is
usually one of them that plays the predominant part in failure due to
wear.
Experience shows that every tribological system can be optimised by selecting the right coating.
