Calculate wear coefficient from graph of wear volume (10^-3cm^3) and sliding distance(10^6cm) --Ref. Archard & Hirst Paper 1956
September 30, 2009
Looking at the Figure 6 of famous paper by J.F. Archard and W.Hirst "The wear of metals under unlubricated conditions" how can we calculate wear coeffcient 'K' from it.
Unfortunately I don't know how to post a figure in this text box , I can't paste it so I am providing a weblink to that free paper online.
