Abstract
FOR the understanding of both boundary lubrication and the effect of environment on mechanical properties, it is important to know what increase, if any, occurs in the reactivity of metal surfaces when they undergo deformation. If an increase in reactivity greater than that due to changes in surface area is observed, it is reasonable to attribute it to the generation of point defects and dislocations in the metal. The relative importance of changes in surface area, point defects and dislocations is still largely speculative and an investigation is being made here to elucidate this.
