fretting corrosion

Fretting corrosion acts in the same way, especially when water is present.

This is also known as frettage or fretting corrosion.

For highly loaded bearings, high speeds and machine parts subject to fretting corrosion.

Fretting corrosion is another term used to describe the reddish brown or black worn particles.

Lap joints, common on airframe surfaces, are a prime location for fretting corrosion.

In addition, fretting corrosion is likely to have formed on the mating surfaces, further complicating dismounting.

Reduces fretting corrosion, is water resistant and forms a "dry" lubricating film which does not attract dust.

Thus, fretting corrosion occurs when a corrosive medium is present at the interface between two rubbing surfaces.

Both these phenomena, as well as fretting corrosion (which results from small amplitude oscillations between contacting surfaces) fall into the broader category of tribocorrosion.

The problem of fretting corrosion was involved in the Silver Bridge tragedy and the Mianus River Bridge accident.

In nearly all cases the splines show clear evidence of fretting corrosion, this is what produces the characteristic red dust in the flywheel housing reported by owners.

MSGE is opposite to Mechanically Stimulated Gas Absorption that usually occurs under fretting corrosion of metals, exposure to gases at high pressures, etc.

For example; "fatigue or corrosion of a structural beam" or "fretting corrosion in an electrical contact" is a failure mechanism and in itself (likely) not a failure mode.

Fretting Corrosion is the term applied to situations where significant amounts of oxide dust is generated in and around the contact; a characteristic red colour in the case of steel components.

Composed of assorted mixtures of aluminum, copper, graphite and nickel powders in a grease base, such lubrication allows repeated assembly and disassembly without wear and the elimination of fretting corrosion during use.
