#Discovery is key to metal wear in sliding parts (w/Video) Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism for wear in metals:
a swirling, fluid-like microscopic behavior in a solid piece of metal sliding over another.
"Using high-resolution imaging of sliding contacts in metals, we have demonstrated a new way by which wear particles and surface defects can form,
and the sliding conditions did not generate enough heat to soften the metal. Yet, the swirling flow is more like behavior seen in fluids than in solids,
The metals are used commonly to model the mechanical behavior of metals.""We speculated in the earlier paper that the swirly fluid-like surface flow discovered on sliding metal surfaces is likely to impact wear in sliding metal systems,
"he said.""Now we are confirming this speculation by direct observations

the oscillating electrons found at the surface of metals, researchers were able to squeeze light into nanosized spaces,
because light tends to dissipate at a metal's surface. The new device builds upon earlier work in plasmon lasers by Zhang's lab that compensated for this light leakage by using reflectors to bounce the surface plasmons back and forth inside the sensor similar to the way sound waves are reflected across the room
and whether they acted as metals semiconductors or insulators under strain. Toggling between or sustaining those conductive properties are particularly important for future applications in microelectronics.
However this method requires intensive postprocessing (transfer process) as it has to remove used metal after the manufacturing process
