WEAR

.the erosion of material from a solid surface by the action of another substance

What is wear ?

Wear involves removal of both


small particles, Microscopic wear,
and large particles, Macroscopic wear

Wear involves different factors to consider

What stress forces causes Wear ?

Compression

Important to make the right choise..

.otherwise the material will crack

Impaction

Impact wear occures when handled material falls, drops or hits a


surface with a certain impact angle and impact energy.

Sliding wear abrasion occures when handled


material flow parallel with the exposed surface.

Gliding wear

Factors which prevent the material from rolling
Material flow speed on elastomers should are first and foremost the thickness of the

Factors to consider

Factors to consider

REMA TIP TOP Industrie, 12


Summary.Rubber

Natural rubber is an outstanding option for sliding abrasion of small, hard and
sharp particles. Also for wet conditions.

Restrictions:

If sliding speed is exceeding 7 m/s (dry applications) the temperature can start
to rise and cause damage.
Oil is a threat for NR.
Temperature -50 to 70 C.

REMA TIP TOP Industrie, 13


Summary.Polyurethane

Best option for tough sliding applications when the particle size is lower than 50 mm.
Excellent in wet applications.
Tolerant to chemicals and oil.

Restrictions:

Large sixe and high velocity might cause problems.


Temperature -10 to +70 C

REMA TIP TOP Industrie, 14


Summary.Ceramics

The natural choice when the mission is too hard for rubber or polyurethane alone.
 Hardness, resistance to temperature and corrosion.
Low weight.

Restrictions:

Impaction is dangerous for ceramics. This must be avoided.


Composite products is an option.
