Abrasion tests measure the resistance of a material to wear caused by friction and/or contact with another object. This type of testing is often required for materials used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and other sectors where surface durability is paramount. During an abrasion test, the sample being tested is subjected to a controlled amount of friction over certain areas. This simulates the effects that everyday use could have on the material over time. The results of these tests can provide valuable information about how resilient a particular material is against wear and tear caused by everyday activities or long-term exposure to abrasive conditions or environments.
