More than 25 years ago, Vingsbo and Söderberg published a seminal paper regarding the mapping of behaviour in fretting contacts (O. Vingsbo, S. Söderberg, On fretting maps, Wear, 126 (1988) 131–147). In this paper, it was proposed that in the gross-s... Read More about Is the wear coefficient dependent upon slip amplitude in fretting?: Vingsbo and Söderberg revisited.

The influence of surface hardness on the fretting wear of steel pairs: its role in debris retention in the contact (2014)
Journal Article
Lemm, J., Warmuth, A., Pearson, S., & Shipway, P. (2014). The influence of surface hardness on the fretting wear of steel pairs: its role in debris retention in the contact. Tribology International, 81, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2014.09.003

The influence of specimen hardness (between 275 kgf mm−2 and 835 kgf mm−2) in an AISI Type O1 steel-on-steel fretting contact was examined. In equal-hardness pairs, a variation in the wear volume of around 20% across the range of hardnesses examined...

The effect of temperature on wear and friction of a high strength steel in fretting (2013)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of temperature (between 24 °C and 450 °C) on the wear rate and friction coefficient of a high strength alloy steel (Super-CMV) in gross sliding fretting in air. It was found that whilst there was significant loss of... Read More about The effect of temperature on wear and friction of a high strength steel in fretting.

Abrasive wear behaviour of conventional and large-particle tungsten carbide-based cermet coatings as a function of abrasive size and type (2011)
Journal Article

Abrasive wear behaviour of materials can be assessed using a wide variety of testing methods, and the relative performance of materials will tend to depend upon the testing procedure employed. In this work, two cermet type coatings have been examined...
