Abstract: Performances of tribo-electric systems are determined not only by the tribological and electric behaviors of the sliding pairs, but also by their combination effects. Among those combination effects, electric arc plays very important role in contacting surface damage. Moreover, the advances and possible breaks in tribo-electric research are introduced in this paper.
