Wear and scratch hardness of 304 stainless steel investigated with a single scratch test

Nano‐/Microscale Investigation of Tribological and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy/MWNT Nanocomposites

“…However, comparison between the results obtained from the scratch and indentation hardness methods indicates that the ratio of scratch hardness to indentation hardness is around 1.4 in all specimens. Similar ratios have also been reported in some other studies 48, 49. Existence of this ratio is because of some involving terms in the scratching process that are absent in the indentation experiments.…”

Deformation of SS 304 LN during Scratch Test and Influence on Evolution of Coefficient of Friction

“…At higher loads, wear was found to be the dominating deformation mode where material was worn out as clear from the optical micrographs ( Figure 3) of residual tracks. Same behavior has been observed by Adler and Walters where SS 304 was tested under single scratch with three different normal loads [17]. In our case, load is increasing linearly from 1 N to 15 N during a single scratch.…”

A novel multi-pass dual-indenter scratch test to unravel abrasion damage formation in construction steels

“…However, the conventional scratch tests are mostly done on the initial surface [20][21][22][23][24], which can be very different to those that form during the abrasion process, e.g. irregularity, continuous development of subsurface deformation and work hardening etc., and hence do not automatically reflect the material abrasion resistant response.…”
