Galling refers to a type of wear that occurs when two materials slide against each other, causing material transfer and damage. It is commonly seen in metals, particularly in situations where there is high pressure, sliding motion, and a lack of lubrication. The friction and stress can lead to the adhesion of one material to another, resulting in the tearing and deformation of the surfaces, which can worsen over time and potentially lead to the failure of mechanical components.
