Fretting
Fretting occurs when minute relative motion between two surfaces under load transfers material from one surface to the other, typically due to vibration. Fretting can occur at the fir tree slots where blades mate with discs in a gas turbine engine, for example, or in various types of bolted connections. Frequently, the transferred material is harder than the original, which accelerates abrasion and damage. Fretting is similar to wear, although the motions involved are much smaller. Studies are undertaken to understand and reduce fretting help increase the life of gas turbines, drive shafts and other mechanical components, especially those subject to vibration.
