Abstract
Surface topographies of discs and balls after wear process were analysed. Discs were made from 42CrMo4 steel with hardness of 42 HRC, but balls from 100Cr6 steel of hardness 64 HRC. They were measured using white light interferometer Talysurf CCI Lite. Procedures for minimizing errors of wear loss determination were discussed. They can be applied thanks to software TalyMap. It was found that application of wear analysis of discs and balls on a micro scale allowed us precise determination of their wear after tribological tests, however this analysis should be careful, particularly for surfaces of high roughness.
