METHODOLOGY FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A
MACHINE FOR ABRASIVE WEAR MEASUREMENT BASED ON THE

Samples tested on abrasive wear

CONCLUSIONS

 . Wear and within this abrasive wear, is the root cause of

degradation of components, so knowing the causes and how it
occurs makes it possible to find ways to counteract it.
ASTM G-65 STANDARD
 . The most common way to deal with abrasive wear is by
manufacturing and restoration of parts by welding, being that Course: ME428 Foundry

alloy due to its properties and low relative cost compared to
other alloys. Members
 . Abrasive wear tests allow validation of low alloy performance
different conditions of service, above all, enable assessments  Jhonatan, Collado Cerrudo
material comparisons There are several trials registered in 
nosmos ASTM G which differ by the configuration of the
elements, test medium, loads and Ways to evaluate the results.
 . The built machine is versatile, since it allows the abrasive wear
test in dry and wet sand conditions, while making it possible to
vary parameters of Test as: Travel, load, type of abrasive
material, particle size abrasive.
 . The validation of the test machine allowed to confirm its
adequate performance, confirming the linear dependence of
the loss of mass depending on the route.
