undefined — Industry Glossary Entry
Definition of abrasive wear in industrial cutting: loss of knife material by hard particles in the substrate ploughing or cutting into the edge.
undefined is the loss of knife material by hard particles in the substrate (glass fibre, mineral filler, sand, recycled contaminants) ploughing or micro-cutting into the edge. Abrasive wear is the dominant mechanism on most industrial cutting lines and is the variable that PVD coatings, hone, and steel grade upgrades are designed to address.
Abrasive wear rate
- AISI D2 on clean paper: 1× baseline
- AISI D2 on 30 % glass-filled PA66: 5–8× baseline
- AISI M2 HSS on clean paper: 0.7× baseline
- AISI M2 HSS on 30 % glass-filled PA66: 3–5× baseline
- Tungsten carbide (YG6X) on 30 % glass-filled PA66: 1.5–2× baseline
- Tungsten carbide (YG6X) + TiCN coating on 30 % glass-filled PA66: 2.5–3× baseline
