The integrated adhesive wear model takes into account both the transient wear and the steady-state wear in wear testing. The transient wear volume is described by an exponential equation while the steady-state wear by a revised Archard's equation. In this study, the integrated wear model was used to analyze experimental wear data obtained previously for an A6061-T6 alloy and MMC-D, an aluminium alloy matrix composite containing 20% spherical alumina particles. Two loads of 7.5 kgf and 10.0 kgf, and a speed of 4.58ms^sup -1^ were used in conducting the experiments. Both the standard wear coefficient and the net steady-state wear coefficient values for both types of materials were determined. ...
