Abstract
Tribology is a very interdisciplinary field. Tribology, lubrication and surface technology are key technologies and with
utmost importance for all branches in industrial production. Innovations in these technologies require the best possible
fundamental understanding of the complex processes taking place at the interfaces of a tribological system. Therefore the
XTribology centre in AC2T Research GmbH is confronted with the challenges of a highly interdisciplinary field. In previous
works, we developed an approach based on the analysis of the evolution of a specific scientific discipline by means of studying
its terminology extracted from related specialized international literature. In this work we investigate the very important subfield
of Tribology "the mechanism of wear". The scientific basis is still explored. Besides general bibliometric aspects the "theories"
and its connection to experiments are of specific interest.
