The paper dwells upon the specifics of worn spots being formed on a silicon-carbide crystal in microscratching of iron, cobalt, and nickel. Analysis was done using a Versa 3D dual-beam electron microscope. The chemical composition of worn spots was studied by local X-ray microanalysis. It was found out that the amount of metal transferred to the silicon-carbide worn spot was associated with the electron structure of metal atoms.
