The evolution of surface regions during dry sliding wear of a Ni-based superalloy pin against a cast iron disc was investigated at temperatures from ambient to 800 °C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results indicate the formation of wear resistant nanocrystalline surface layers (so-called ‘glaze’-layers), which reduce the wear rates at higher temperatures by orders of magnitude.
