Abstract
Sliding friction experiments involving copper and Cu-Be alloy plates in contact with copper, Cu-Be alloy, steel and titanium alloy sliders were performed in air and vacuum. Micro-hardness and metallographic examination of plate and slider interface suggests friction and wear by the adhesive friction mechanism with prow formation. Transfer of strain-hardened metal wear debris across the sliding interface leas observed. The friction coefficient and the prow size generally increased in vacuum.Keywords
