Wear rates of flat specimens of brass and other metals sliding over the periphery of a rotating disc of cast iron, stellite or tool steel are measured. Reproducible wear values are obtained under unlubricated and cetane-lubricated conditions. The wear values when lubricated by cetane with e. p. additive or by refrigerator oil decrease gradually with the number of runs of the turns of the disc and become almost steady at the tenth run. These final values together with other observed values, both expressed in specific wear
K, are summarized in a table in which one can perceive the effects of lubricant, sliding speed, material combination, annealing and working of the material, continued grinding of the rotating disc, etc. on the wear rate. The table includes also the results on bearing steel and three plastic materials.
Micrographs of deformation produced on an annealed brass specimen by a cast iron rotating disc are shown.
