Introduction
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users perceive “wear” or “oil drain” differently. Spare parts, services, and accessories contribute to an important portion to the profit of the OEMs. Maintenance and shutdowns define the operational costs of end-users. Thus, the strategy in order to exploit “wear” depends from the market structure and is up to the reader and/or applicant. The topic “Service Life/Durability/Life Cycle” represents a very ambiguous one and was already thematized in earlier times.
On the occasion of a wear conference [1] in 1938 of the Association of German Engineers (VDI), the following statement was made:
Tribology should never aim to sustain technically and economically obsolete machinery and operating equipment. Therefore, only the short-sighted would strive to develop a non-wearing material.
The previous statement classified “zero wear” as...
