Abstract
With the advent of new technologies, modern machineries have become very complex in nature. Every year a large chunk,of money is consumed for withdrawing machines from service due to breakdown and maintenance. Ferrography can extract valuable information about machine-health while it is in running condition. These information are very vital for planning machine operation and scheduling maintenance time in order to achieve maximum reliability, safety and economy of production. Out of the four basic methods of Condition Monitoring, namely, visual, performance, vibration and wear debris analysis, ferrography deals with the last one.
