Talk:Wear

[edit] Frog and Railway crossing

The article refers to loss of dimension through processes known as frog and railway crossing. I believe that this included in the article is outright confusing for people as it is unexplained jargon. (I personally was dispelling images of hopping creatures, before checking for vandalism) I have removed it for the moment, but if someone wants to provide an explanation, link or image, that would be great User A1 04:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Impingment Angle Wear

This article does not address material loss and deformation through direct angular impingement of a solid under velocity on to a surface. I believe this would or should be classified as balistic wear?

[edit] Fretting Wear

Wouldn't fretting wear be considered a wear as well? Fretting doesn't fall into any of the current four catagories of wear though it can be a precursor to Abrasive wear. Lukeseed (talk) 20:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree - I would also take out "surface fatigue" and instead have "fretting fatigue". Surface fatigue does not generally involve wear. I can do the necessary edits once I find a valid source. Sigmund (talk) 21:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
