%X When copper specimens are subjected to repeated sliding, non-metallic particles are included below the surface. They are derived from the rupture of oxide films during sliding. On annealing at temperatures near the melting point of copper, the particles coalesce but prevent grain growth of the copper. The relation of these facts to the layers formed by polishing is discussed briefly.
