Abstract: Friction and wear experiments on brasses with and without lead particles are presented and compared. Quantitative results are given for the dimensions of the wear tracks and of the subsurface ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations of the friction and wear of four copper alloys and pure nickel are presented. Measurements of the shape and dimensions of the wear tracks and of the extent of ...

Abstract: A survey is presented of recent theories of the wear which occurs when dissimilar unlubricated metals slide on one another. Such sliding wear is not only of practical importance, but is also ...

Abstract: A mechanical test which is believed to simulate the conditions occurring in sliding wear is described. It involves the cyclic plastic deformation of metals under combined compression and shear. ...
