Abstract
When the combined equivalent thickness of the surface film approaches and finally becomes greater than the critical value, the weakening of the interlocking effect of the plastic roughening results in rapid decrease in wear and ultimately reduces wear to practically zero. This is verified by experimental results of wear of pure metals with controlled surface film thickness in the region near the critical thickness.
