Description The study of wear particles is useful in understanding the wear processes prevailing in the contact zone, and can help in defining the prevailing significant wear mechanism and the mechanics of particle detachment. This paper describes a wear study carried out under simulated plastic deformation conditions where coil type foil wear particles were typically ob%erved both on the surface as well as in the form of loose particles. It is proposed that such particles could be formed as a result of accumulated residual stresses in the wear particles. Based on the residual stress theory the diameters of the coil type particle were estimated and then compared with those measured through a scanning electron microscope. The contact consisted of a pair of mild steel and EN 31 discs brought together at the circumference. The conditions were simulated using a modified Amsler friction and wear te~ting machine. The lower disc carried the lubricant to the contact zone. Contact pressure of the order of 1.12 GN/m2 was obtained which is well above the yield point of the mild steel. The wear particles were also examined by X-ray diffractionifor the nature of deformation. Correlation between the estimated and experimental value of diameter of wear particles was good and throws light on the mechanism of such wear.
