[Auszug] DIAMOND is an interesting solid in its frictional behaviour. In air, under ordinary conditions, its friction is very low. The coefficient of friction of diamond sliding on itself (or of steel sliding on it) may be as low as μ= 0.03. This is lower than the boundary friction of well-lubricated ...
