Embodiment Construction
[0015] In general, the exemplary methods and devices described herein substantially reduce or prevent material transfer across a dynamic mechanical interface between two dissimilar materials. More specifically, the methods and apparatus described herein significantly reduce the difference between a first or hard material surface and a second or relatively soft material surface when the hard material surface is moved relative to and in contact with a relatively soft material surface. friction force at the interface. In the examples described herein, at least a portion of the hard surface includes a conditioned surface having a lubricious material encased by, embedded in, precipitated within, conditioned by The conditioned surface surrounds, is transferred to, or is otherwise retained by the conditioned surface. In some examples, the lubricious material is a material that is substantially similar or the same as the relatively softer material. In other words, lubricious materia...
