...Sara Pope; Robert L. Jackson Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use a wear test to determine the effect of sand on the wear rates of materials typically used in aerospace applications. Once a repeatable wear test has been established, it can be used to test any combination of materials...

... and wear performance assessments were conducted using hardness, compression and pin-on-disc wear tests. Findings Although the specimens subjected to the most prolonged mechanical milling (4 h) demonstrated superior hardness and compressive strength properties, they exhibited a remarkable weight loss...

Design/methodology/approach Two types of diesel fuel, pure petrodiesel and soybean oil, were compared for their fuel properties and tribological performance. The ball-on-disk wear testing method was used as an analytical tool...

... and blends containing 0-20 per cent biodiesel (WEO) by volume and operated a diesel engine with these fuels. The ball-on-ring wear testing method was used as an analytical tool for this purpose. The lubricating efficiency of the fuels was estimated by using a photomicroscope to measure the average diameter...
