Abstract

Experimental investigation of friction induced nucleation of nanocrystals was conducted. A series of interfacial interactions were experimentally examined, including pressing, light sliding, and heavy sliding. Results showed that only under a certain sliding conditions, nucleation of crystalline features were formed. Compressing along with heavy sliding caused either melting or severe wear. This preliminary research demonstrated the feasibility of using a friction-stimulation process combined with phase transformation to generate nanostructured materials. The possible nucleation mechanisms are frictional energy induced melting and strain-related nucleation. It leads to the future study of nucleation theory.
