The paper is intended to determine maximum temperatures in the friction zone of solids. An original model of thermal processes in a miniature test object – environment of a selected contact of asperities – is proposed. Its volume is limited to an area where energy dissipation and wear take place. The discussion is based on an energy balance including temperature variations within the object. An original...
