In contrast, polycarbonates feature limited scratch and mar resistance, being characterized by very low surface hardness.
Nevertheless, they feature very low surface hardness, scratch and mar resistance.
The former, because of their low surface hardness, have low wear resistance.
However, because of its low surface hardness values, high coefficient of friction and poor wear resistance, the TC4 alloy is seldom adopted in tribological-related engineering components.
Titanium aluminides have low surface hardness and poor tribological properties, which could limit their applications in such areas where contact and wear are involved, e.g. valves in an auto-engine.
