This paper presents the results of a complex analysis of particles isolated from various kinds of oils (automobile engine and transmission oils, hydraulic and compressor oils) and oil filters. Morphological analysis was performed using analytical ferrography in combination with scanning electron microscopy, local electron microanalysis and image analysis. The results are a contribution to the quantitative assessment of processes connected with the wear of parts of vehicles and industrial machinery.

Keywords: wear particles, oils, ferrography, scanning electron microscopy, image analysis
