Scope: The onset and progression of plastic deformation is an important precursor towards the eventual ejection of media during severe wear of metallic functional surfaces. The focus of this special topic is study of microstructural features and mechanisms that control metal-metal and metal-media interactions during severe wear in advanced metallic alloys. Of particular interest is research focusing on tailoring composition and microstructure for reducing wear rates. Also welcome are fundamental studies exploring the influence that the surface exerts, along with simultaneously occurring intrinsic and extrinsic length-scale effects, on microstructure evolution trajectories that eventually produce surface damage during wear. Theoretical, computational, as well as empirical studies are encouraged.
