There are many tribological techniques to rank pairs of surfaces for scuffing resistance, including pin-on-disc type rotating setups, reciprocating ball-on-flat, etc.
I don't know about all metal systems, but nitriding steel surfaces is a common technique for increasing scuffing resistance.

Subject: Scuffing Resistance
How do you define a material's scuffing resistance and which materials do you consider best suited to resist scuffing?
