A PRESENTATION ON FERROGRAPHIC TEST

GUIDED BY: DR.M.A.SALODA

SUBMITTED BY: PRASHANTGIRI B.E FINAL YEAR

Introduction Why ferrographic test? Monitoring of oil Why monitoring of oil is valuable? How test is conducted? How much and from where the Oil samples are to be drawn ? How to prepare ferrogram slide? Examination of oil by ferrometric. Product monitored with ferrographic testing. Advantages Disadvantages

This is a technique in use since 1970, it provides Microscopic Examination and Analysis of Debris (particles) found in lubricating oils. These particles consist of metallic and non-metallic matter. The metallic particle is a wear condition that separates different size and shapes of metallic dust from components like all type of bearings, gears or coupling (if lubricated in path). Non-metallic particle consists of dirt, sand or corroded metallic particle.

To obtain wear and tear of any machine or system without disassemble it. Due to that we can save repairing and maintenance time.

Systematic testing of lubricants samples from a piece of equipment is called lubricant monitoring.

To provide information about the condition of the lubricating itself. To obtain the information about the condition of all the components which are in contact with the lubricants.

Take a oil sample Prepare ferrographic slide

Examined under a microscope that combines the features of a biological and metallurgical microscope.

A tank capacity beyond 20 liters can be planned to tap 100 ml of oil in every examination.
Typically two oil samples are to be taken from a lubrication path 1.After filteration 2.Before entering to oil tank .

All type used lubricants (Oil and Grease ) Moving equipment parts All Type Engine Gear System Hydraulic System Pumps Bearings System Compressors System Aviation Turbines

Metallurgical Applications Engine Maintenance Chemical Plants Power Stations Railroad Industry Manufacturing Plants Vehicle Fleets, Public Transport Food Processors General Industry and more

Reduction in unscheduled downtime due to wear of rotary components like bearings and gears Effective maintenance scheduling Improved equipment reliability and safety Reduction in maintenance costs Maximization of oil change-out intervals that indirectly conserves environmental cleanliness aspect Reduction in machine power consumption over a period

It can not be used where the capacity of tank is less than 20 lit. Oil loss after every examination.

Failure analysis of the rolling contact fatigue specimens tested at the difference contact stresses and slide roll rations are carried out. The influence of traction force and porosity on failure pattern is investigated. Surface peeling and pitting type of failures are observed in the sintered and hardened rollers. Severe running in wear particles are seen in the ferrogram prepared in the sintered material while the concentration of the wear particles is less in the wrought steels. Introduction of wear rate of porous steels compared to wrought steel.
