Determining Fatigue Wear Using Wear Particle Analysis Tools
A nice article regarding the wear particles analysis in Machinery Lubrication, look further: http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/526/fatigue-wear-particle-analysis.

A very comprehensive Article on every type of wear particle possible that isn’t encapsulated into a useful SGAN.
I would suggest that there are much smaller “spherical” ferric wear particles produced during normal operation that go entirely unnoticed. It is these (much smaller) particles that become the most useful SGANs for ISS-ISN.
Imagine . . . beneficial wear particles. What a concept!
I guess, there are many unnoticed small tiny particles. I am wondering, why should they be spherical to be useful?
Because polishing balls need to be round.
Once formed and used to polish, SGANs spin on the surface (preventing adhesion) like ball bearings.
So its mainly needed for a ball bearing type of action, otherwise they could be of arbitrary shaped?
