Abrasion refers to the general wearing down of a material. Most often, this mutated look and structure are an undesired, hardly controllable effect of exposure to normal use.
Abrasion resistance refers to the ability of materials to withstand wearing down (caused by scuffing, rubbing, scratching and so on). Accordingly, functionality of an end application is prolonged when abrasion resistant materials are used.
Abrasion resistance can be tested by various standards (ATSM, ISO, ...). Furthermore, abrasion resistance can also be influenced by the means of using lubricant (example in the yarn production: spin finish) or applying a coating.
