ABRASIVE WEAR IN CERAMICS: AN ASSESSMENT
A.G. Evans · eScholarship (California Digital Library) · 1979
The mechanisms of material removal during abrasive wear were examined, and preliminary analyses presented. Primary emphasis has been placed on the lateral fracture mechanism, in an attempt to elucidate both its realm of importance and the concomitant material removal rates. Thermal stresses induced by plastic penetration have also been shown to be a potential source of material removal, especially at low levels of the normal force.
