Portuguese term or phrase: Microsulcoament
Em casos práticos, o desgaste de componentes mecânicos se dá pela combinação de diferentes micromecanismos. Por exemplo, se partículas de desgaste formadas pelo macromecanismo de delaminação permanecem na interface entre as contrapartes, geram desgaste abrasivo, a que correspondem outros micromecanismos ( microcorte, microsulcamento, microfadiga).
