Analytical Ferrography
Operating Principle
A portion of the sample is passed over a slide on
top of a magnetic plate to attract ferrous
particles. The prepared slide is then placed
under a microscope for examination. The
particles are then classified into different size
ranges and shapes. As a result of this
classification, determination of an abnormal wear
mode can be made.
Significance
This test provides a snapshot into the machine to
determine the type and size of the ferrous wear
that is coming from a particular piece of
equipment. This will allow for a more accurate
plan of attack to correct a possible problem or to
judge machine health.
Applications
Any machine containing significant amounts of
ferrous wear debris.
