f, time of formation of the layer decreases; however, the thickness of the layer
increases with f.
We also studied the effect of interfacial energy between two media on for-
mation of the layer and its thickness. Figure8.26 shows that, both the time
needed for layer formation and thickness of layer decrease with increasing
interfacial energy.
8.5.5 Discussion
We used the CPM to model the self-organization of a two-phase alloy with
a hard matrix. Such a structure is typical for a bearing Al–Sn-based alloy.
Self-organization of this alloy consists in soft-phase accumulation on the
friction sur
