Wear is perceived differently, but has been defined by the OECD working group "Wear of Engineering Materials". :
"The progressive loss of substance from the operating surface of a body occurring as a result of relative motion at the surface."
Notes: (1) Wear generally has a detrimental effect, but has a beneficial effect in its softer form, such as self-erosion and work-hardening;
(2) A surface may become unusable due to severe plastic deformation. Plastic deformation of micro-apertures always occurs;
