Abstract
The scratch test method was used to evaluate the wear resistance of snow pl ow blade cutting edges. A testing apparatus peculiar to the in situ scratch test of cutting edges was developed. Experimental results indicated that t he scratch hardness correlated better to the wear resistance of cutting edg es than did the indentation hardness.
