The friction of gold-silver alloys against steel
article
Gold-silver alloys, sliding against steel SAE 1045 in argon, show a discontinuous increase in friction and wear, accompanied by the onset of metal transfer when a gold content of about 40 at. % is exceeded. This transition in sliding characteristics coincides with the first sign of iron solubility in the relevant alloys. In air no such transition can be observed. Results are discussed in terms of interatomic interaction between the sliding components.
