SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF 6309 SIZE BEARINGS.
Abstract
The present research program is primarily concerned with a thorough study of bearing surfaces, both before and after running, with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The SEM is a relatively new research tool whose application should lead to a much better characterization of surface initiated failure processes. Furthermore, since large surface areas can be conveniently studied, a more valid representation of bearing surfaces and their modifications with running should be obtained. This report covers the first phases of this research program. After a brief introduction on the SEM, a series of representative micrographs will be presented and briefly described. Then a discussion of the results to date will be presented. Finally, there will be an outline of further work on this current research program. (Author)
