Abstract
The fretting behaviour of thin sheets of AISI 301 stainless steel in the full hard condition in contact with an AISI 52100 cylindrical body was evaluated. The relationship between fretting conditions and residual fatigue life was used to characterise fretting damage. The influence of normal force and displacement amplitude on fretting damage was considered with emphasis on the latter. An equivalent initial flaw size calculated using the NASGRO crack growth rate equation was used to quantify the fretting damage.
