This is a type of abrasion that is seen when hard solid particles move across another surface that results in loss of material from the softer surface. The particles result in a cutting or ploughing effect on the opposite surface.
Key properties of Sliding Abrasive Wear:
- Low angle of impact to surface
- Primarily solids flow
- Low load
- Moderate to high velocity
Typically seen on Piping, Pneumatic transport lines and Vanes on screw augers.
