Abstract
Friction and wear depend on the characteristics of the mating surfaces. The difficulty to explain and to predict with high accuracy such phenomena reflects the complex nature of the surfaces, which is determined by the material properties (such as the microstructure), the geometrical irregularities, the presence of oxides due to the interaction with the surrounding atmosphere, and the presence of organic molecules, water vapour or other impurities adsorbed from the environment.
