Adhesive Adhesion
Adhesive Adhesion
Adhesive wear is due to localized bonding between contacting solid surfaces leading to material transfer between the two surfaces or loss from either surface. The origin of this form of wear is in reality the same phenomenon that is responsible for friction. If two solids are in intimate contact (at least locally), there is a tendency for these solids to bond together.
