Abstract
Bowden’s and Tabor’s original views [1,2] of adhesive and ploughing friction at plastic contact areas between metals are briefly reviewed, before considering in more detail the nature of surface flow (wave, wedge or chip forming) at plastic contacts of rough surfaces in the presence of adhesion. These flows are mapped on to a plane in which surface slope and contamination are the axes. For surfaces of small slope, in the absence of strong adhesion, the contact regions can be elastic. Conditions for elasticity are added to the friction mechanism map to highlight the critical range of friction coefficients from 0.3 to 0.4. For lower values, sliding flows will be elastic or plastic waves; for higher values localisations of surface plastic flow, wedge formation or transfer are likely to develop.
