Abstract
Fretting tests were performed using an Optimol SRV5 tribotester in a ball-on-flat scheme. Balls from 100Cr6 steel of 60 HRC hardness and diameters of 10 mm co-acted with discs from 42CrMo4 steel of 47 HRC hardness under dry gross fretting conditions. Tests were performed at 300C and 25–35% relative humidity, and the number of cycles was 18000. During each test, the normal load was kept constant. Six sets of experiments were conducted. Discs had different surface textures as the result of machining. It was found that the lowest coefficients of friction were obtained for anisotropic surfaces when ball movements were perpendicular to main disc texture directions.
