A Study of the Four-Ball Wear Machine

Abstract

An investigation has been made of the effects of load temperature, time, speed, and viscosity upon wear in the four-ball wear machine. These variables were found individually as well as collectively to affect the rate of wear. Reproducibility of results was adequate for some research and development purposes.
