A Review of Antifriction Materials and Design for Cryogenic Environments

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering Materials

Abstract

Friction is the resistance to movement of contacting surfaces. Wear is the surface degradation and material loss that result from mechanical interaction. Friction and wear are closely associated, but there is no direct relationship. Thus, high friction implies high wear, but the conditions leading to minimum friction for a given sliding couple do not necessarily minimize wear.
