Abstract

This paper presents the results of the mechanical characterisation, by a mechanical properties microprobe or nanoindenter, of tribochemical films produced by the sliding wear of alumina in a humid environment.

It was found that the tribochemical films were softer than the remnant alumina on the worn surfaces, and were liable to fracture and cracking under the indenter.
