Hello,
I have this ongoing argument with my professor. I read in a paper (friction and wear) that the crystal structure can affect friction. HCP crystal structures having lower friction coefficients. I have two papers that mention this in passing one, linking FCC crystal structures to have better plastic deformation but nothing conclusive.
Can anyone shed more light on this? Do HCP crystal structured metals have better friction resistance?
