This work presents the design of a modular ad-hoc fretting fatigue and fretting wear tribotester for thin steel wires. The working principles of the different modules are described, such as the displacement and contact modules. Preliminary studies for understanding the effect of crossing angle between wires on tangential force measurement has been carried out on 0.45 mm diameter cold-drawn eutectoid carbon steel (0.8% C). The results show that due to the developed wear scar geometry for high crossing angles there is a non-Coulomb behaviour that is not seen for low crossing angles. Full article

Shot peening is a mechanical treatment that induces several changes in the material: surface roughness, increased hardness close to the surface, and, the most important, compressive residual stresses. This paper analyzes the effect of this treatment on alloy Al 7075-T651 in the case of fretting fatigue with cylindrical contact through the results of 114 fretting fatigue tests. There are three independent loads applied in this type of test: a constant normal load N, pressing the contact pad against the specimen; a cyclic bulk stress σ in the specimen; and a cyclic tangential load Q through the contact. Four specimens at each of 23 different combinations of these three parameters were tested—two specimens without any treatment and two treated with shot peening. The fatigue lives, contact surface, fracture surface, and residual stresses and hardness were studied. Improvement in fatigue life ranged from 3 to 22, depending on fatigue life. The relaxation of residual-stress distribution related to the number of applied cycles was also measured. Finally, another group of specimens treated with shot peening was polished and tested, obtaining similar lives as in the tests with specimens that were shot-peened but not polished. Full article

Laser quenching hardening is one of the most used surface treated technologies. In order to study the effect of laser quenching on the fretting fatigue life, fretting fatigue experiments of TC11 (Ti-6.5Al-1.5Zr-3.5Mo-0.3Si) titanium alloy specimens with different surface conditions were carried out on a special hydraulic servo fatigue test system. The experimental results showed that laser quenching hardening has a good performance in increasing the fretting fatigue lives of the TC11 alloy. However, the effects of laser quenching on fretting fatigue are more obviously at low stress level than at high stress level, the fretting fatigue life was increased by 110.78% at low stress level and 17.56% at high stress level, respectively. Based on the critical plane approach, the traditional SWT (Smith–Watson–Topper) parameter was modified and used to describe the fretting fatigue life of the TC11 alloy after hardening by the consideration of the variations of the hardening layer’s elastic modulus. Compared with the experimental results, all the errors of the predicted results lied in the error band of two. Full article

The paper presents the results of research of the fretting process of 316 austenitic stainless steel in the environment of natural saliva and mucin-based saliva preparations. The aim of the work was the evaluation of synthetic saliva preparations on biomaterial wear during fretting and fretting-corrosion. The fretting process, in the oscillatory micro-movements conditions, occurs in the joints of removable dentures, especially during the chewing phase. Fretting usually leads to the intensification of fatigue damage processes of materials. Experimental research, through rheological, fretting, fretting-corrosion, and microscopic analysis were performed. Tests indicate that natural saliva and saliva preparations are similar in terms of viscoelastic properties. The statistically significant proposed saliva solutions reduced the material wear in comparison to dry sliding, which is important in the case of people with saliva secretion problem. The addition of xanthan gum to the artificial saliva composition improved rheological characteristics, but on the other hand, led to an increase of secondary wear. It was confirmed by the volumetric wear of the samples and evaluation of energy dissipated during friction. Fretting-corrosion processes were explained by a mechanism related to crevice corrosion supported by friction. Full article

The analysis of fretting fatigue plays an important role in many engineering fields. The presence of heterogeneity may affect the performance of a machine or a structure, including its lifetime and stability. In this paper, the effect of randomly distributed micro inclusions on the fretting fatigue behaviour of heterogeneous materials is analysed using the finite element method (FEM) for different sizes, shape and properties of inclusions. The effect of micro inclusions on macroscopic material properties is also considered by representative volume element (RVE). It is shown that the influence of micro inclusions on macroscopic material properties cannot be ignored, and the shape and size of the inclusions have less effect on the macroscopic material properties as compared to the material properties of inclusion and volume ratio. In addition, various parameters of inclusions have little effect on the peak tensile stress, which remains almost the same as homogeneous material. Peak shear stress occurs at many places inside the specimen, which can result in multiple cracking points inside the specimen, as well as at the contact surface. Moreover, the stress band formed by the stress coupling between adjacent inclusions may have an important influence on the direction of crack growth. Full article
