Reply to comments on “A practical interpretation of unlubricated wear data for some non-ferrous metals” We agree with most of the points raised by Begelinger and de Gee but would stress that the main emphasis in the use of the speed uersus load diagrams is to show the wear characteristics for different combinations of materials. These diagrams show that some combinations are very much safer than others. Of course we agree that these results cannot be directly applied to a specific design because of the difference in thermal conditions. Therefore the main emphasis in our paper [l] is in the application of this information to the selection of bearing materials and this should be carried out at the design stage.

Reply to comments on “A practical interpretation of unlubricated wear data for some non-ferrous metals”

We agree with most of the points raised by Begelinger and de Gee but would stress that the main emphasis in the use of the speed uersus load diagrams is to show the wear characteristics for different combinations of materials. These diagrams show that some combinations are very much safer than others. Of course we agree that these results cannot be directly applied to a specific design because of the difference in thermal conditions. Therefore the main emphasis in our paper [l] is in the application of this information to the selection of bearing materials and this should be carried out at the design stage.
