Title
Standard Terminology Relating to Wear and Erosion
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 1, 2005
Scope:
The terms and their definitions given herein represent terminology
relating to wear and erosion of
solid bodies due to mechanical interactions such as occur with
cavitation, impingement by liquid
jets or drops or by solid particles, or relative motion against
contacting solid surfaces or
fluids. This scope interfaces with but generally excludes those
processes where material loss is
wholly or principally due to chemical action and other related
technical fields as, for instance,
lubrication.
This terminology is not exhaustive; the absence of any particular term
from this collection does
not necessarily imply that its use within this scope is discouraged.
However, the terms given
herein are the recommended terms for the concepts they represent
unless otherwise noted.
Certain general terms and definitions may be restricted and
interpreted, if necessary, to make them
particularly applicable to the scope as defined herein.
The purpose of this terminology is to encourage uniformity and
accuracy in the description of test
methods and devices and in the reporting of test results in relation
to wear and erosion.
NOTE 1 - All terms are listed alphabetically. When a subsidiary term
is defined in conjunction with
the definition of a more generic term, an alphabetically-listed
cross-reference is provided.
