Conclusions
-
1.
The friction process in a metal-refractory compound pair is accompanied by intense adhesion of the metal to the mating surface, which leads to cold welding between the transferred metal and the metal specimen and to particles of the harder refractory compound being torn out.
-
2.
The high degree of deformation of the cubic metals promotes the formation on the friction surface of a hard and tenacious layer which acts mechanically upon the surface layer of the refractory compound; this, combined with the tangential stresses set up as a result of the adhesion, results in severe wear of refractory compounds, which is greater than that observed when these compounds slide on themselves.
