A gold marker technique that allows to measure wear with nanometer resolution laterally and normal to a materials surface has been developed. By way of analysis of gold concentration profiles before and after rubbing, the method can distinguish newly added from original material and afford information on phase‐specific wear and sub‐surface processes that occur in aluminium‐silicon alloys.
