TL;DR: In this paper, measurements of the temperature rise of the aluminium wear pins and calculations based on these results show that the temperatures are too low to account for the oxide produced during wear.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray and both optical and electron microscopy techniques to examine surface hardening and oxidation of metals in an attempt to explain some of the metallurgical features of wear.

TL;DR: Boronising is a surface diffusion treatment analogous to carburising, but produces harder surfaces without recourse to quenching as mentioned in this paper, and has been evaluated on steels and grey cast iron under dry sliding conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pin-and-disc wear test machine was used to measure the running-in coefficient of two steels, nominally 0.3% C-3% Cr, and a mechanism for the scuffing resistance of these steels containing 3% Cr was presented.

TL;DR: Pins of aluminium, Al-16%Si and Al 16%Si-1%Cu were rubbed against a steel disc (1%C-1.5%Cr) in the oxidative (mild) region and the wear surfaces were studied using electron spectroscopy.
