Micro-abrasive wear test, also called ball cratering test, is normally used to investigate the wear behavior of hard bulk materials or wear-resistant coatings. In this work, this test was used to investigate the wear behavior of metallic samples. The results showed that the embedment of abrasive particles and the formation of grooves in the crater's surface may induce to artificially small wear coefficient...
