Abrasive wear gouging

Abrasive wear can be classified into three types. Gouging abrasion is a high stress phenomenon that is likely to be accomplished by high comprehensive stress and impact. Grinding abrasion is a high stress abrasion that pulverizes fragments of the abrasive that become sandwiched between metal faces. And erosion is a low-stress scratching abrasion.

The majority of engineering materials are heterogeneous, composed of phases with considerable differences in hardness. When an abrasive particle is small, the presence of coarse, hard, phases in these alloys can considerably strengthen the material s resistance to abrasive wear. But if the abrasive particle size is comparable to the scale of heterogeneity of the material, then gouging out the hard material from the structure leads to an increased wear rate. Abrasion can be limited by ...
