Adhesive wear
Under unfavourable lubrication and contact conditions or when running dry, the friction pairs form an intimate, adhesive bond. This is especially likely where the surface materials are of similar composition or have a particular affinity for one another.

The consequences are cold welding, scuffing, scoring, pits, seizing, built-up edges, tool breakage.
