Explanation:
Actually, grinding should be translated into Spanish as "esmerilado", but in this context it just does not fit in, so desgaste is the proper word to use here. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Explanation:
Si se trata de un sonido, grinding significa rechinamiento.
Si no es así, si se trata únicamente de la acción, tal como yo creo, es el resultado del roce o fricción entre superficies metálicas, lo que provoca la existencia de una cantidad de polvo producto de este mismo roce.
Es parecido al efecto de la erosión.

Saludos:)
