Wear caused by hard, sharp particles.
Wear due to hard particles or hard protuberances forced against and moving along a solid surface.
Also known as "Cutting wear". Comes when hard surface asperities or hard particles that have embedded themselves into a soft surface and plough grooves into the opposing harder surface, e.g., journal.
Wear caused by particles between two moving surfaces or by roughness on either surface.
Wear caused by the continual contact, under pressure of hard particles in food against the barrel lining, screw and ancillary equipment.
Wear caused by the rubbing or scrapping of hard particles, such as carbides, across the surface of a substrate. This is a typical tool failure mode. The high micro-hardness of our coatings will protect against this type of wear.
The displacement and / or detachment of metallic particles from a surface as a consequence of being exposed to flowing fluids or gases. See Abrasion.
Material removed by rubbing, especially foreign particles.
