Wear is the phenomenon in which a surface is gradually worn down due to contact and relative motion between solids. In mechanisms involving friction—such as drive components and bearings—measures to counteract wear are essential. The progression of wear causes dimensional changes and performance degradation in parts, and ultimately poses a risk of affecting the reliability of the entire equipment. There are several types of wear, each with different mechanisms of occurrence and corresponding countermeasures. In this article, we will explain the basic definition of wear, the mechanisms behind its occurrence, typical forms of wear and their characteristics, and methods to suppress wear. We hope you will gain a proper understanding of wear to help achieve a long service life for components and reduce maintenance costs.
