Microscopic Friction Studies on Metal Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atomically flat and clean metal surfaces exhibit a regime of ultra-low friction at low normal loads. Atomic force microscopy, performed in ultra-high vacuum on Cu(100) and Au(111) surfaces, reveals a clear stick-slip modulation in the lateral force but almost zero dissipation. Significant friction is observed only for higher loads (*4– 6 nN above the pull-off force) together with the onset of wear. We discuss the minor role of thermal activation in the low friction regime and suggest that a compliant metallic neck between tip and surface is formed which brings upon the low, load-independent shear stress.

One of the problems for use of rubber in various industries is surface tension at the surface of rubbers, which results in the crack on the surface, fracture of the rubber and reduces its life. These tensions are caused by contacting the rubber component with the metal surface and the friction between two surfaces. Roughness of the surface, the composition of the rubber compound, the environmen...

متن کاملSimple Microscopic Theory of Amontons’ Laws for Static Friction
A microscopic theory for the ubiquitous phenomenon of static friction is presented. Interactions between two surfaces are modeled by an energy penalty that increases exponentially with the degree of surface overlap. The resulting static friction is proportional to load, in accordance with Amontons’ laws. However the friction coefficient between bare surfaces vanishes as the area of individual c...
متن کاملThe Influence of Honed Surfaces on Metal-on-Metal Hip Joints
Wear rate and debris are key problems to implanted metal-on-metal hip joints. Surface texture on bearing surfaces is reported to increase tribological performances. Research on the translation of this technology to metal-on-metal hip joint for reduction of friction, wear rate and debris generation is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate, by theoretical predictions and experimental ...
