What is Fretting Corrosion

Relative motion between two surfaces in contact by a stick-slip action causing breakdown of protective films or welding of the contact areas allowing other corrosion mechanisms to operate.

Prevention

Prevention is possible by:

  • Designing out vibrations
  • Lubrication of metal surfaces
  • Increasing the load between the surfaces to stop the motion
  • Surface treatments to reduce wear and increase friction coefficient.
