Effect of Sliding on the Relation of Tribofilm Thickness and Wear

The formation of tribofilms depends on temperature, shear stress, availability of the related chemical components, and characteristics of the near surface region, e.g., roughness and surface chemistry. The purpose of a tribofilm is to separate two sliding surfaces, thus preventing or limiting wear....
