Physiochemical Processes to Reduce Friction and Wear Under Selective Transfer Conditions—A Review
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A selective transfer is realized safely, if the materials pair and the lubricant are adequate, in the presence of a relative movement and energy favoring the transfer. The paper highlights the mechanism of achieving selective transfer phenomenon and analyze the physiochemical aspects which take place in a suitable lubricated friction pair (here bronze/steel lubricated with glycerin), that favoring friction by redicing friction force and implicitly wear, under the conditions of selective transfer. Also, the paper seeks to highlight the effect that the servowitte layer (film) has that appears on the friction pair surfaces following the selective dissolution of the superficial layer in the contact area on the factors that influence the friction and wear process, through the implications brought to the coefficient of friction and obviously of wear.
