Question 40

-is a process removal of material from one or both two solid surfaces in solid state contact, occurring when these two solid surfaces are in sliding or rolling motion together.

Answer 40

Wear

Question 41

-it is the progressive damage, involving material loss, which occurs on the surface of a component as a result of its motion relative to the adjacent working parts.

Answer 41

Wear

Question 42

-occurs when a harder material is rubbing against a softer material.

Answer 42

Abrasive Wear

Question 43

-the impingement of solid particles, or small drops of liquid or gas on a solid surface cause wear what is known as erosion of materials and components.
