With reducing size scales and emphasis placed on nanotechnologies, wear in the nano-displacement regime has become of great interest. It is not clear if accepted mechanisms and models can be applied to smaller length scales. This study looks at the correlation between wear modes and models at the macro, micro, and nano displacement level. Wear tests are performed on 99.995% gold foils to exclude significant environmental effects. Several wear testing machines including Hysitron’s Triboindenter and CSM’s Nanotribometer are used to include ranges of displacements. A FEI DB235 Strata focused ion beam (FIB) scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to section and image wear tracks, sub-surface areas, and debris piles. Thin cross sections milled from areas of interest using the FIB and are characterized on a JEOL 2010F transmission electron microscope (TEM).
