“…X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been the most widely used, due to its ability to identify not only the elements present on the wear scar surface, but also the chemical state of the atom [6,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]25,[28][29][30]32,33,35,38,40,44,47,48,[51][52][53][54]. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to identify the type of wear occurring based on the wear scars appearance with the associated energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) used to ascertain the elements present on the wear scar [15,17,[19][20][21]23,25,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][40][41][42][43]…”
