AB - A visual study has been made of the process of scuffing between a lubricated steel ball and a sapphire flat. This has shown that the onset of scuffing is always preceded by the build-up of fine particles of wear debris in the contact inlet which result in starvation and consequently scuffing. Based upon these observations a new mechanism of scuffing is proposed: that scuffing is caused by a critical rate of production of wear debris and its accumulation in the inlet of the lubricated contact. © 1995 Elsevier Science B.V.
