In your experience, how much wear ias there on such parts? Can you
estimate it in terms of thousands of an inch? Maybe in terms of
thickness of a human hair? I am actually serious about this.


It'll wear slower with the treatment, but there's other things to
think about. It'll probably nick more largely on the edges when it
strikes debris.
Doesn't seem worth it for a prop.
