Role of interfacial adhesion on minimum wear particle size and roughness evolution

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink, Enrico Milanese

Adhesion between two bodies is a key parameter in wear processes. At the macroscale, strong adhesive bonds are known to lead to high wear rates, as observed in clean metal-on-metal contact. Reducing the strength of the interfacial adhesion is then desirabl ...
