Abstract
It is assumed that the contact between bodies in sliding motion produces a stress field and frictional heat source that may induce severe wear from material yielding or fracture. For this situation, a thermomechanical wear model is used to develop a wear transition equation for identifying the dominant factors that will reduce or control such wear, by employing thermoelasticity analyses and contact mechanics. This equation is used to construct wear maps for ease of analysis. Studies are used to substantiate the thermomechanical wear model with experimental results that emphasise the transition from mild to severe wear for dry and lubricated metallic and ceramic sliding contacts under load.Keywords
