In the present work we aim to link tribometry with atomistic simulations in order to improve our understanding of nanoscale interfacial processes of a tungsten-carbon-hydrogen tribo couple. Sliding induces severe changes of the material with respect to topography, composition and microstructure ( "third body", [1]). Experiments were performed using a novel experimental platform for the on-line correlation of friction, wear and topography under lubricated sliding [1]. Then, in order to elucidate the atomistic level processes which contribute to the observed microstructural evolution in the experiments, classical molecular dynamics are performed employing a bond order potential for the Tungsten-Carbon-Hydrogen system. The combined experimental and simulation data allowed a look at the third body formation of metals (tungsten), ceramics (WC) [3,4] and diamond-like carbon coatings [5].
