Interrelation between Tribological and Microstructural Parameters of a Tribomaterial under Cyclic Rolling

By using a pendulum tribometer, changes in the tribological and microstructural parameters of a tribomaterial have been studied in the course of cyclic rolling based on the model friction pair steel ShKh15-lithium fluoride single crystal as an example. A key role of the tribomaterial microplastic deformation in this process is demonstrated.
