Using a DIN abrader, measurements of wear rates have been made for several representative elastomers : polybutadiene rubber (BR), natural rubber (NR), and a standard styrene-butadiene copolymer(SBR;23.5% styrene), using both unfilled and carbon-black-filled compounds. The results obtained from a DIN abrader were compared with those from a blade abrader for same rubber compounds. The wear rates of selected rubber compounds were found to be similar to each other, and somewhat less sensitive to the normal load and the frictional force, compared to the wear rate with a blade abrader. The effective coefficient of friction was close to unity. The wear mechanisms는 appeared to be different depending on the types of abrader. The pattern spacing, ridge height and wear rate have a power law dependence on the frictional force. The BR compounds exhibited more blunt and round wear surface, smaller pattern spacing and lower ridge height than NR and SBR compounds, and those characteristics were seemed to be a function of wear rate.
