It directly affects the life of the component. Abrasive wear phenomena are simply caused by the passage of relatively hard particles or asperities over a surface. Abrasive wear simply includes division of two surface parts by abrasion of other mating surface that is situated between the friction areas. This abrasion is mainly depends upon several factor like on loading condition, slide-way length and hardness. A Brass mainly considered as the important copper alloy. In particular, up to date brass alloys have been extensively used in automotive, electronic, energy, construction and marine application by virtue of their corrosive resistance in non acidic environment, good mechanical properties and fabricability, high thermal and electrical conductivity. So, in this paper a study of abrasive wear of brass with different loading condition were given to analyze the possibility of wear. A review of abrasive wear properties of 60Cu40Zn using different wear rate measuring technique has been discussed in this paper. Mainly focus on the varying wear condition during varying loading conditions. As we all know that wear is very important parameter which directly affects the life of a component. And that can be control using several parameters on which it depends. The result of the study indicates several measuring wear rate technique till date.

INTRODUCTION: Interaction of the base body and counter body arises in the absence of lubrication film thickness or the presence of too small lubrication film thickness. Wear is very important phenomena than friction and lubrication play a very hypothetical role in reducing friction. Lubrication is providing to reduce a wear, because wear is much more dominant compare to friction. A good design can simply reduce this problem of wear. Hence wear factor is directly depend upon the design of the component. A good design reduces 100000 times that is more dominating factor. In short, we simply define wear as an undesirable removal of material from operating solid surface. Here the word undesirable simply signifies that there are two definitions; one is known as a Ǯzero wearǯ and other one is Ǯmeasurable wearǯ. Zero wear is simply tells that there is a wear, but that is not going to cause as much. In fact it may increase the performance and it is for betterment, so that it is not undesirable. However in case of measurable wear where the undesirable wear occur or undesirable removal of material takes place. We simply take one example to study the chance of occurrence of wear in any material i.e. ǮZero wearǯ. We considering two materials; material Ǯͳǯ and material Ǯʹǯ rub each other. After short interval of time there some asperity detachment from material Ǯͳǯ as well as some material detachment from material Ǯʹǯ. This is simply a zero wear condition. Analyse the zero wear using Ǯbath tub curveǯ. It simply consists of three stages:  Infant Mortality failure(decreasing failure rate)  Constant Failure rate(indicating useful failure rate)  Wear out failureȋincreasing failure rate, Ǯshows end of life)
