A Model for Abrasive Polymer Wear

The abrasive mechanism of polymer wear is dominant in the startup, or "breakin", stage of polymer/steel sliding systems. This mechanism controls the polymer wear rate until the voids in the hard metal surface are filled, much like the filling observed with a file when used on soft metals....
