Abstract Microstructural alteration of tribo-elements' the near-surface region significantly affects how long a tribosystem will last. To design and tailor future surfaces of tribo-elements, a fundamental understanding of
microstructure evolution under local tribological exposure is required. During the initial steps of macrotribological process in metals, horizontal dislocation walls have been observed, which later develop into the
grain-refined tribolayer, however, their fundamental mechanisms are yet unknown. In this work, we
developed a novel micro-tribological test, in order to directly inspect the contact zone and simplify the stress
status. Our preliminary basic tribological experiments identify grain orientation and More >
