Abstrakt: s. This paper investigates the characteristic and severity level of both wear and wear particles occurred in Perodua MyVi 1300cc automatic transmission (AT) mechanism via wear particle analysis approach. The analyses deployed were based on ferrographic and surface roughness analysis. The work of analysis strictly conducted on automatic transmission fluid (ATF) Perodua original equipment manufacturer (OEM) (ATF-3) series via continuous endurance dynamometer basis at the operating speed of 3000rpm. The operating mileage tested ranged from 0km up to 10,000km maximum operating distance. The wear particle generated at each operating mileage of 1,500km, 3,000km, 4,500km, 7,000km and 10,000km was accordingly analyzed morphologically and qualitatively. Ferrographic analysis is by principal has been recognized as one of the most reliable analysis incorporated with wear particle analysis (WPA) concern [1]. In concern of this study, it is applied to examine the morphology, mode and characteristic of wear particles generated. The surface roughness analysis meanwhile conducted to qualitatively evaluate and predict the wear condition of components within the AT mechanism via qualitative surface texture analysis of the wear particles. The outcome from the investigation done on the wear particles surface characteristics could interpret the wear behaviour and progress (stage/phase) as the surface characteristics of the wear particles do depict the surface characteristics of the wear components [2, 3].
