Fretting Fatigue of a Medium Carbon Steel.

Abstract

Contacting metal surfaces subjected to pressure and relative motion suffer from a phenomenon known as fretting corrosion. When one of the two surfaces is also subjected to cyclic stress this phenomenon can lead to premature fatigue crack initiation and is known as fretting fatigue. Important variables in this process are the magnitude of relative displacement, contact pressure, frequency, relative hardness of contacting surfaces, intrinsic fatigue resistance and possibly environment and temperature.
