Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 abrasive wearwear due to hard particles or hard protuberances forced against and moving along a solid surface(Terminology G40).NOTE 2This definition covers several different wear modes or mecha
17、nisms that fall under the abrasive wear category. These modes may degrade asurface by scratching, cutting, deformation, or gouging (1 and 2).44. Summary of Test Method4.1 The dry sand/rubber wheel abrasion test (Fig. 1) involves the abrading of a standard test specimen with a grit of controlledsize
18、and composition. The abrasive is introduced between the test specimen and a rotating wheel with a chlorobutyl rubber tireor rim of a specified hardness. This test specimen is pressed against the rotating wheel at a specified force by means of a leverarm while a controlled flow of grit abrades the te
19、st surface. The rotation of the wheel is such that its contact face moves in thedirection of the sand flow. Note that the pivot axis of the lever arm lies within a plane which is approximately tangent to the rubberwheel surface, and normal to the horizontal diameter along which the load is applied.
20、The test duration and force applied by thelever arm is varied as noted in Procedure A through E. Specimens are weighed before and after the test and the loss in massrecorded. It is necessary to convert the mass loss to volume loss in cubic millimetres, due to the wide differences in the densityof ma
21、terials. Abrasion is reported as volume loss per specified procedure.5. Significance and Use (1-7)5.1 The severity of abrasive wear in any system will depend upon the abrasive particle size, shape, and hardness, the magnitudeof the stress imposed by the particle, and the frequency of contact of the
22、abrasive particle. In this practice these conditions arestandardized to develop a uniform condition of wear which has been referred to as scratching abrasion (1 and 3). The value of thepractice lies in predicting the relative ranking of various materials of construction in an abrasive environment. S
23、ince the practicedoes not attempt to duplicate all of the process conditions (abrasive size, shape, pressure, impact, or corrosive elements), it shouldnot be used to predict the exact resistance of a given material in a specific environment. Its value lies in predicting the rankingof materials in a
24、similar relative order of merit as would occur in an abrasive environment. Volume loss data obtained from testmaterials whose lives are unknown in a specific abrasive environment may, however, be compared with test data obtained froma material whose life is known in the same environment. The compari
25、son will provide a general indication of the worth of theunknown materials if abrasion is the predominant factor causing deterioration of the materials.6.

These are the type of rubber used on the wheel, the type of abrasive and the shape, positioning and the size openingof the sand nozzle, and a sui

Uncured rubber shall be bo
29、nded to the rim and fully cured in a steel mold. The optimum hardness of the curedrubber is Durometer A-60. A range from A58 to 62 is acceptable. At least four hardness readings shall be taken on the rubberapproximately 90 apart around the periphery of the wheel using a Shore A Durometer tester in a
30、ccordance with Test MethodD2240. The gage readings shall be taken after a dwell time of 5 s. The recommended composition of the rubber and a qualifiedmolding source is noted in Table 1. (See 9.9 for preparation and care of the rubber wheel before and after use and see Fig. 2 andFig. 5.)6.3 AbrasiveT

Sand that has been subjected to dampness or to continued high relative humiditymay take on moisture, which will affect test results. Moisture cont

In high-humidity areas sand may be effectively storedin constant temperature and humidity rooms or in an enclosed steel

In new nozzles, the rate of sand flow is adjusted by grinding the orifice of the nozzle to increasethe width of the opening to develop a san
37、d flow rate of 300 to 400 g/min. During use, the nozzle opening must be positioned asclose to the junction of the test specimen and the rubber wheel as the design will allow.

Stainless steel is preferred because of its corrosion resistance and ease of welding. Copper and steel are alsoused successfully.6.4.2 Formed NozzleNozzles formed from tubing may be
41、used only when they duplicate the size and shape (rectangularorifice and taper), and the sand flow characteristics (flow rate and streamlined flow) of the fabricated nozzle. (See Fig. 7 and Fig.9.)6.4.3 Sand FlowThe nozzle must produce a sand flow rate of 300 to 400 g/min (0.66 to 0.88 lb/min).6.4.4
42、 Sand CurtainFig. 9 shows the proper stream-lined flow and the narrow shape of the sand curtain as it exits from the sandnozzle. A turbulent sand flow as depicted in Fig. 10 will tend to produce low and inconsistent test results. It is intended that thesand flows in a streamlined manner and passes b

The rate of revolution (200 6 10 rpm) must remain constant under load. Other drives producing 200rpm under loa
44、d are suitable.6.6 Wheel Revolution CounterThe machine shall be equipped with a revolution counter that will monitor the number of wheelrevolutions as specified in the procedure (Section 9). It is recommended that the incremental counter have the ability to shut offthe machine after a preselected nu
45、mber of wheel revolutions or increments up to 12 000 revolutions is attained.6.7 Specimen Holder and Lever ArmThe specimen holder is attached to the lever arm to which weights are added, so that aforce is applied along the horizontal diametral line of the wheel. An appropriate number of weights must
46、 be available to apply theappropriate force (Table 2) between the test specimen and the wheel.The actual weight required should not be calculated, but ratherFIG. 7 Sand NozzleG65 156should be determined by direct measurement by noting the load required to pull the specimen holder away from the wheel

Aconvenient weight system is a can filled with sand (see Fig. 2).6.8 Analytical BalanceThe balance used to measure the loss in mass of the test specimen shall have a sensitivity of 0.001 g.Procedure C requires a sensitivity of 0.0001 g.6.9 Enclosure, Frame, and Abrasive HopperFig. 3 and Fig. 4 are
