Wear of Metals—Influence of Some Primary Material Properties

Tribology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Specific wear rates of a range of metals and alloys upon dry sliding are compiled together to discern the influence of material properties on wear. No systematic influence of bulk hardness was found. Following our previous work on the influence of power dissipative capacity of metals on wear, we explore the influence of thermal diffusivity on wear of these metals.
