I understand that he is in the habit of scolding/abusing his friend many times in a row whenever he scolds/abuses him.

Can we say these ways?

Yes, as shown, but 'scold' is usually used for children. You scold a child, not an adult. 'abuse' is also a little problematic because it suggests physical abuse.

You probably mean that he often yells at or screams at his friend:

He often gets angry and [yells/screams] at his friend.
