Summary:The recent advances in the development of composite surface coatings and the increasing tribological application of multi-phase materials in engineering require a more rigorous treatment of the problem of the contact of surfaces of such materials. This paper considers the surface contact behaviour of materials having contrasting physical properties and the results presented quantitatively identify the boundaries of three contact regimes, purely elastic, elastic/plastic and predominantly plastic. The treatment also offers a method for determining the real areas of contact and corresponding supported loads associated with the modes of deformation of each phase. This is particularly important for predicting the friction and wear characteristics of multi-phase materials.
