Abstract
In ball-cratering wear tests, two abrasive wear modes are commonly observed, grooving abrasion and rolling abrasion, which act in distinct areas. Observing this tendency, the aim of this article is to discuss the characterization of an intermediate condition, in which the superposition of the grooving and the rolling abrasive wear modes is observed. This phenomenon is referred to as microrolling abrasion due to the following particular characteristic: the rolling abrasion was found to act on the grooving abrasion. Additionally, in a defined sliding distance range and normal force range, microrolling abrasion is qualitatively observed to be proportional to the sliding distance and inversely proportional to the normal force.
