Normalized volumetric material loss was calculated using 15 to 144 axial profiles. Three trials of 144 measurements were made on one component. The other data were simulated by excluding various numbers of axial traces from the data set; as there are permutations of which traces can be excluded, some simulations have more data points than others.
