Usage Notes

When used for machines, 磨合 implies a physical process of wearing in parts to improve function. For people or groups, it suggests a period of getting used to each other's working styles or habits. It is a neutral term, commonly used in formal and informal contexts. Avoid confusing 磨合 with (mó liàn), which means to temper or train through hardship rather than mutual adjustment.
