What is Compacted oxide layer glaze?
'''Compacted oxide layer glaze''' describes the often shiny, wear-protective layer of [[oxide]] formed when two metals (or a metal and ceramic) are slid against each other at high [[temperature]] in an [[oxygen]]-containing [[atmosphere]]. The layer forms on either or both the [[surface]]s in contact and can protect against wear. == References == * I.A. Inman. 2003.
