Evaluation of the effect of sample size on the fab factor repeatability

  • Elsio Junior Bonati Borges

In the study of the wear mechanisms, the f ab factor became an important tool in the quantification of the slip response of a particle on a surface as to the ability to groove or cut. However, the f ab values ​​are usually associated with a low repeatability, making it impossible in some cases to associate them with the different abrasion mechanisms verified or until their invalidation. One practice often used to decrease standard deviation values ​​is to increase the number of measurements. Thu...
