When metal is scratched does a small metal filing occur or a dent?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) April 5th, 2010

Lots of the metal surfaces I see have small scratches. Are these scratches impressions or places where metal has been carved out? Generally I am talking about light scratches on metals like stainless countertops.
