    Loss of atoms from the surface of the material: How does it work?

    Thank you for all the replies! Could someone please explain to me what exactly the wear of rate equation means 1.2x10 -10mm3N-1m-1? How is it measured?

    Loss of atoms from the surface of the material: How does it work?

    Of course, I realize that such exercises should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, it seems to me that the study conducted may indicate that the DLC coating can last a long time. "For instance, a covering of just 2 μm of ta-C expands the obstruction of stainless steel against rough wear...

    Loss of atoms from the surface of the material: How does it work?

    Out of curiosity. I became interested in the topic because I read that DLC coatings with a thickness of 3 micrometers can last up to 85 years, and then I found a post on the Internet in which someone calculated that the sole of shoes shrinks by trillions of atoms every time we take a step. So...

    Loss of atoms from the surface of the material: How does it work?

    I found a study on the abrasion of diamond against aluminum, in which the disks were loaded against the cube face of diamond in the [010] direction. The sliding speed was 88 mm s-1and the load 2.2 N. After 8000 min the scar depth was about 0,45 micrometers and the scar volume 10-5mm3. The...

    Loss of atoms from the surface of the material: How does it work?

    I have already searched for information on this topic on Google, but I did not find an answer to my question, so I decided to write a post here and ask a question. What I'm most curious about is whether the atoms we remove with every touch of our hands can be counted in millions, billions or...

    Loss of atoms from the surface of the material: How does it work?

    Ahh, sure! Referring to the DLC coating, here I have a study on the subject: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/11/10/4445

    Loss of atoms from the surface of the material: How does it work?

    Good morning! A question from a mere layman, so I hope you won't eat me :D Some time ago I read that every time one solid body makes some contact with another solid body, several billion atoms are lost from the surface of both the first and the second. On the Internet, I once read a post...
