About this document

Understanding Scuffing in Lubricated Surfaces by Dawit Getachew Melssel is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document reviews scuffing and running-in of lubricated surfaces. It discusses that a lack of understanding of asperity deformation, oxide formation and properties has hindered progress. Current theories often ignore oxides and focus on adhesion as the cause of scuffing, but adhesion has not been proven as the initial mechanism. Plastic fatigue is a more likely explanation that can occur without atomic contact. The review discusses phenomenological observations of failing surfaces and criteria for scuffi
