Based on the microscopic model, the friction coefficient for the relative motion of nuclei in deep-inelastic heavy-ion collisions is calculated. An advantage of the suggested method is that it allows one to consider the relative motion of nuclei and the intrinsic motion self-consistently. The radial dependence of the friction coefficient is studied and the results are compared with those found by other methods. It was demonstrated that the kinetic energy dissipation in deep-inelastic heavy-ion collisions is a gradual process which takes up a significant part of a reaction time. A decrease of the radial friction coefficient with a heating of nuclei is shown. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
