WEAR DEBRIS ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION § § § § §

Wear of sliding components result in reduced mechanical efficiency. Lubrication is provided between the moving surface to minimize the wear. Wear Debris Analysis has proven useful in providing supporting evidence on the bearing or gear status.

§ § It also provides information on the wear mechanism, which is involved. §10/12/09 2

USED OIL CONTAMINATION – TIME TRENDS

10/12/09

Øwhen the machinery is now or recently overheated, a sharp rise in metallic concentration occurs from A to B . Ø ØOnce this phase is completed, the concentration should remain steady, the oil shouls then be changed. Some residual wear metal products remain from the old oil and circulate in the original oil following the oil change at c. Ø ØNormal functioning the metallic concentration would be expected to increase slowly as by C-D 

ØIf

abnormal conditions arise, 10/12/09 concentration may increase by D-E.

TECHNIQUES

Direct Debris Collection Method  

v

Wear debris in the lubricant is detected in the machine by arranging for the oil flow through a device, which is sensitive to the presence of debris.

 

Two types of filter system are mainly present





Special filters

 



 10/12/09 

Existing Filter system 6

Debris Collection Method  Wear debris is collected in a device, fitted to the

machine which is convenient to remove, so that the debris can be extracted for examination. 

Magnetic Plugs

8

It is an “on-line” control method, magnetic plugs are used in oil-

lubricated machines

 This method only detect ferrous material. 

The magnetic plugs captures a large number of particles are

detected ,which would not normally be recorded by means of ferrography.



An unacceptable coating is visible. This indicates abnormal wear. Magnetic plugs are used in the modern aircraft engines where

particle sizes are in the order of 0.2-1 µm are found.

An unacceptable coating can be characterized by the following conditions. FLarge individual fragments F FPieces which can be identified as flakes from a bearing F FFlat fragments F FA large number of whiskers F  Particularly long whiskers 

Lubricant Sample Analysis

 

A sample of lubricant is extracted from a machine and analyzed for wear debris contamination.

 

There are two most widely used methods



1. Spectrometric oil analysis program (SOAP)  2. Ferrography 

Spectrometric oil analysis program (SOAP)

 



It is a maintenance tool which is used to check the condition of the oil lubricated mechanical systems(Examples: Motors, Gear boxes, Hydraulic systems).



The quantity can indicate something about the magnitude of the wear and the type of wear metals can reveal which component is wearing out.



 

10/12/09

The quantity and type of wear metals in sample of lubricating oil is determined 12

Emission spectroscopy 

It is an optical instrument

 

The sample is burnt in between two electrodes

 

It produces a light of different wavelengths

 



The intensity of light is proportional to the concentration of the metal in the sample.

  Limitations of soap  

 Large particles (E.g. bearings can breakdown due to few large particles)

 

 Defects which occurs quickly (E.g. due to the lack of lubricating oil or due to bearings which burn up)

 

 Defects where no wear metals are formed.(E.g. breakdown due to metal fatigue).

Application of soap 

1. It is used in situations where breakdowns are expensive.   2. It is widely used in the military services.   3. In US, it is used by the Air force, Navy and the Army. 



4. It is used for many civil aviation companies.  

Ferrography  It is a technique which is based upon the systematic

collection of oil samples from an oil- lubricant.  The method identifies, isolate and classify wear

particles from machine parts. A magnetic field is used to sort the wear particles in the flowing oil.

 This technique was used successfully to monitor the

condition of military aircraft engines, gear boxes and transmissions.  10/12/09

Type of equipments used in wear particle analysis

 Direct –Reading(DR) ferrography   Analytical ferrograph system   Ferrorgram scanner. 

2. The Analytical Ferrograph

  . The Analytical Ferrograph is used to prepare a

Ferrogram -- a fixed slide of wear particles for microscopic examination and photographic doc. 

The Ferrogram is an important predictive tool.

3. Ferrorgram scanner.  The energy-dispersive (X-ray) spectrometry (EDS)

technique is a familiar elemental analysis attachment to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) where electrons are used as the primary energy source to excite the X-ray spectra. 

CONCLUSION 

The wear debris monitoring method access the

nature of the particles generated when components wear. They can indicate exact nature of the machine problem indicate the amount of debris present indicate the size distribution of debris indicate the physical form of debris application of chemical analysis of debris
