The formation of transfer films in sliding contacts between                     steel polymers with filler compounds will be studied.  The                      filler  material will be chosen from low-melting inorganic                      compounds of  three metals which readily dissolve in steel.                     It is anticipated that the flash temperatures at asperity                       contacts will promote decomposition of the filler compounds                     and that subsequent diffusion of the metal into the steel will                  promote bonding between the transfer film and the steel                         surface.  Parallel sliding tests will be run against glass                      surfaces and against surfaces of different roughness to                         determine the relative amounts of mechanical and                                chemical bonding of the transfer film to the steel.  The                        composition and structure of the transfer film will also be                     studied.
