The modern development of materials science is associated with the implementation of digital technologies for analyzing test results. This study proposes an approach to improving the impact-abrasive wear testing method through its digitalization. In contrast to the traditional evaluation based solely on weight loss, the methodology is supplemented with 3D scanning of specimen surfaces after testing. This makes it possible to obtain quantitative information on changes in geometry, as well as the distribution and magnitude of plastic deformation. The scientific novelty lies in the transition from a one-dimensional assessment of wear resistance to a comprehensive evaluation that takes into account the deformation-induced surface relief. The result is the construction of depth maps and profilograms that reflect the material’s resistance to plastic deformation under impact-abrasive conditions. This approach enhances the informativeness of testing and provides a basis for more accurate comparison of materials and validation of wear models.
