Hello,
I am doing some tribological tests with a reciprocal sliding tribological test.
To calculate the wear rate, the wear volume is needed with high accuracy. Do you have any accurate and easy method(s) to evaluate that wear volume? I have already tried some imaging with 3D digital microscopy but the initial roughness of the substrate makes the measurement difficult.
Thank you in advance,
Alexandre

Dear Alexandre,
If you have not done the experiments, then you can measure the wear depth directly while reciprocating. The details are given in the above article. If you have already finished the experiments, you can measure the weight of the sample after and compare it with the original sample weight. Next, the wear volume can be estimated using the stroke length and diameter of the wear scar.
Dear Muthukumar Mariappan,
Thank you for your answer. I will check that paper carefully.

Hello Alexandre,
I can recommend my article to you as an example.
Best regards,
Bohdan Trembach.
It depends on which kind of tribological test you did (pin on disk, ball on ring, ...), depends on the shape of the pin/ball after the test (if damaged or not) and it depends on the substrate-materials you used for your experiments. In all cases you can use the classical technique by calculating the tribo area by optical microscope, or using the Optical 3D Profilometer, or using the mecanichal Profilometer, etc ...
