If they are metalic whiskers that dissipate when rubbed between the fingers! thats normal. If they are in particle, or in the form of filings, that would indicate something is breaking up.

RJ:<br /> They are very fine whiskers that dissipated when rubbed. I didn't detect any slivers of metal, so I think this is normal wear. Thanks for the info.<br />Stalker
