What Does WSD Stand For?
WSD stands for Wear Scar Diameter
Wear Scar Diameter (WSD) refers to the measured width of a circular mark left on a surface due to friction, wear, or contact between materials. It is a critical parameter in evaluating the wear resistance of materials, particularly in tribology and mechanical engineering applications. By quantifying the WSD, engineers can assess the performance and longevity of components under specific operating conditions.
