3. Particle characterization and classification

As already introduced, wear particles can be defined by :

their chemical nature and composition ;
their morphology.

3.1 Nature and chemical composition of debris

Knowledge of the composition of wear debris is necessary to identify its origin (first bodies, "third bodies"). It also enables us to determine whether there has been a structural change and/or chemical reaction between the first bodies ...
