%X This study was carried out to design and fabricate a cost effective and efficient wear tester (pin on disc) used in the metallurgy research field. Design and calculations were established and the machine was fabricated with well selected materials and components all sourced locally. The performance of the fabricated machine was finally evaluated against a standard wear machine in the Standards Organization using statistical methods and the result showed that the locally fabricated machine is 97% effective.
