This chapter provides an overview of grooving wear. Grooving wear can be defined as wear because of penetration of hard particles or surface asperities of a harder counterbody into the softer surface of a solid in sliding contact. Depending on the tribosystem, wear can generally be caused by a combination of all four basic wear mechanisms: abrasion, adhesion, surface fatigue, and tribochemical reaction. Frequently, surface damage by the grooving contact of solids is called abrasive wear because abrasion is usually the main wear mechanism. Hence, abrasion is considered as the most important mechanism in this chapter and grooving wear is equated to abrasive wear. Abrasive wear processes are divided, traditionally, into two-body and three-body wear. Abrasive wear resistance is not an intrinsic property of materials but depends on the tribological system.
