Abstract A novel method for the detection and quantification of transfer films is presented. It is based on the segmentation and numeric analysis of photographic images that are recorded continuously during a tribological experiment. From these, the change of the wear track luminance is extracted and used as quantitative measure for transfer film formation. In contrast to existing methods, the novel method is laterally extensive, in-situ applicable, time resolved, quantitative, infinitely sustainable and practically unrestricted concerning material selection. Its implementation in an ASTM G137 block-on-ring test and the procedure for data extraction and result plotting are reported in detail. Special attention is paid to the issue of wear track polishing, which – when unaccounted for – can result in misleading data.

转移膜的光-光亮度分析：测量原理、数据分析和结果绘图

摘要 提出了一种检测和量化转移膜的新方法。它基于对摩擦学实验中连续记录的摄影图像进行分割和数值分析。从这些中提取磨损轨迹亮度的变化并将其用作转移膜形成的定量测量。与现有方法相比，新方法横向广泛、原位适用、时间分辨、定量、无限可持续，并且在材料选择方面几乎不受限制。详细报告了其在 ASTM G137 环块测试中的实施以及数据提取和结果绘图的程序。特别注意磨损轨迹抛光问题，如果不加以考虑，可能会导致误导性数据。
