Moccasins: simple shoes, often without the durability of joined shoes (although different types of leather have different wear characteristics).

In the lab these show excellent wear characteristics and benefit from a different mode of lubrication.

Gear teeth must have good wear characteristics.

Improved rail quality, composition, and joining techniques could lead to better wear characteristics and a longer lifespan of the rail.

This property of carbon steel can be beneficial, because it gives the surface good wear characteristics but leaves the core tough.

Nylon can be printed easily and has excellent wear characteristics.

The wear characteristics of such helical scan heads are even more critical, and highly polished heads and tapes are required.

Results for large lesions tend to diminish over time; this can be attributed to the decreased resilience and poor wear characteristics of the fibrocartilage.

It is the excellent wear characteristics of alumina which are the principal advantage in artificial hip systems.

The plastic (actually ultra high-molecular-weight polyethylene) can also be altered in ways that may improve wear characteristics.
