AUDIENCE Service, service support and administrative staff personnel who understand the principles of engine operation, and who are or may be involved in determining root causes of failures.
CONTENT This presentation discusses seven types of wear --abrasion, adhesion, corrosion, erosion, cavitation erosion, contact stress fatigue, fretting corrosion -- that the failure analyst may commonly encounter.
OBJECTIVES After learning the information in this presentation, the student will be able to: 1. list the road signs that identify each of the seven types of wear; 2. describe the environmental conditions that must exist for each of the sev en types of wear t o occur; 3. identify and distinguish among the seven types of wear on used parts; 4. and, given an iden tified type of wear on a used par t, describe where to obtain additional information needed in the failure analysis process.
