Fabrication of Wear Testing Machine

The project was carried out to design and fabricate a circular pin disc wear tester with effective cost and efficient wear tester (pin on disc) used in the metallurgy research field. The purpose of the project is to study the application of the principle of friction on a pin into the circular disc, and calculate the pressure of two types of pin (copper and aluminum) towards the circular mild steel disc. The parameters that are going to be used to get the results are toque, moment, force applied, speed of rotation, duration of test and total revolution per minute disc rotation. The tachometer will be used to measure the revolution per minute of the disc surface. By doing that, we can accurately calculate the volume lost and the wear rate of the materials. The outside wear machines are costly, not often to be had and beyond the scope of the researchers. In the process with the want to produce a double reason effective system with one hundred % locally sourced substances and additives.
