Now the choice of wearproof materials is carried out, basically, experimentally, i.e. empirically and on the basis of their volumetric and superficial properties. However, metallic or organic materials which properties considerably differ are maintained in many tribosystems. Therefore only properties are the insufficient information for selection of wearproof materials. In the present work it is offered to choose wearproof materials on the basis of their ability to initiate nonequilibrium processes at friction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
