Abstract
Wear mechanisms may be briefly classified by mechanical, chemical and thermal wear whose wear modes are further classified into seven. Some of them have wear models and mathematical expressions of wear rate, but many of them have not satisfactory wear models and wear equations for reliable predictions. This paper reviews such present understanding on wear mechanisms and models.
