Catalytic effect during friction

Journal of Friction and Wear Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The possibility of influencing friction-induced processes and friction parameters through catalytic phenomena is discussed. A catalytic effect is shown using examples of material treatment and friction with the collection of electric current. The friction-induced catalytic effect is described based on nonequilibrium thermodynamics and the theory of self-organization. Addition of a catalyst into rubbing materials can help increase the wear rate of the materials under mechanical treatment or decrease the wear rate of wear-resistant materials by accelerating spontaneous or nonspontaneous physicochemical processes, respectively.
