Abstract:
The aim of the present work was to study the wear of a special kind of subsonic instruments with usage. We have examined with scanning electron microscope new and used instruments: the first to estimate the features and degree of final touches; the second to examine how they wear after 1, 3 and 5 minutes. We tested for each period 3 instruments per size. In all we controlled 72 instruments. The results of the study show that after 5 minutes the instruments are very worn.
