Abstract
Statistical parameters, such as R a and R q, have been widely used to investigate the roughness of wear particle surfaces in the literature. It has been reported that wear particle analysis based only on numerical characterization is often insufficient to distinguish certain types of wear debris. In this study, two-dimensional fast Fourier transform, power spectrum and angular spectrum analyses are applied to describe wear particle surface textures in three dimensions. Laminar, fatigue chunk and severe sliding wear particles, which have previously proven difficult to identify by statistical characterization, have been studied. The results show that spectral analysis effectively identifies the surface texture pattern (e.g. isotropy or anisotropy) and can be applied to classify these three types of wear particles.
