Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show the development of an image processing-based portable equipment for an automatic wear debris analysis. It can analyze both the qualitative and quantitative features of machine wear debris: size, quantity, size distribution, shape, surface texture and material composition via color. Design/methodology/approach – It comprises hardware and software components which can take debris in near real-time from a machine oil sump and process it for features diagnosis. This processing provides the information of the basic features on the user screen which can further be used for machine component health diagnosis. Findings – The developed system has the capacity to replace the existing off-line methods due to its cost effectiveness and simplicity in operation. The system is able to analyze debris basic quantitative and qualitative features greater than 50 micron and less than 300 micron. Originality/value – Wear debris basic features analysis tool is developed and discussed. The portable and near real-time analysis offered by the discussed work can be more technically effective as compared to the existing off-line and online techniques.

Friction and wear behaviours of rolling bearing in contaminated oil containing white-fused alumina particles were studied. The friction and wear processes were monitored using wear debris analysis, such as ferrography and spectrometric oil analysis program, and vibration analysis. Test bearing was a deep groove ball bearing (6002P5); Wear debris and worn surfaces of the bearing components were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the friction coefficient in the contaminated oil became lower by about 0.001 than that in the new oil for the large contaminants. The results of wear debris analysis showed that the large contaminants caused the high wear rate in the bearing. Three types of wear debris were commonly observed: thread-like debris, cutting chip debris, and plate-like debris. On the basis of the SEM observation results of the worn surfaces, wear mechanisms of these wear debris were discussed. The results of vibration analysis showed that the probability density function of vibration waveform was normal distribution in both the new and contaminated oils. In the contaminated oil, it changed depending on the contaminant size and the runtime, i.e. the progress of wear in the bearing. The result of wear debris analysis was related to that of vibration analysis and discussed.
