The aim of this study is to present a morphological analysis of wear debris contained in the used transmission oil of a dumper. The transmission system of the dumper was condition-monitored over a period of 1000 hours through wear debris analysis of used oil. Analytical ferrography has been employed to extract the relevant information like size parameters viz. area, perimeter, ferret?s length and shape parameters viz. elongation, aspect ratio and roundness. The wear particles present in the transmission oil have been characterized based on process of generation and shape parameters of wear particles. The experimental results indicate decrease in size parameters with time. However, in case of shape parameters roundness decreases while aspect ratio and elongation show an increase with passage of time. A shift in wear mechanism from normal rubbing wear to sliding wear has also been noticed.
