This might be the case for some plain or journal bearings or for mechanical seals. If the counterface is a polymer, then the most likely abrasive filler will be glass fibres. If the counterface is a ceramic or cermet, then its surface roughness will greatly influence its abrasiveness. In either case, your choice of surface engineering must be on the basis of high hardness.

• Hard Chrome Plate the best of the electroplates. Electroless nickel, even hardened, is not recommended
• Sprayed ceramic or cermet e.g. chromium oxide. A ceramic vs ceramic situation is permissible
