- The term describes grinding burrs on the races and the bearing components undergoing plastic deformation and some clip-off. The metallic particles this process creates give rise to abrasive wear. Additional consequences include the development of scoring and scratches, through to micro-pitting. The wear process develops rapidly as the bearing play continues to increase. Finally, this leads to power rubbing or peeling of the surface layers and severe subsequent damage.
