Abstract
A study has been made of the “score resistance” of 38 elemental metals tested as slider bearings against 1045 steel disks. It was found that the metals which have the best score resistance against steel are the B-subgroup metals which are either insoluble with iron or else form intermetallic compounds with iron.
