Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and composition for testing the wear on mechanical hardware. During the testing method a metal oxidant is applied the mechanical hardware being tested which deposits onto the mechanical and can be visually detected. One of the properties of the metal oxidant is that it is a substantially non-flow or non-drip medium that can be applied in situ with reduced risk to surrounding hardware.
