Friction coefficients for steel to steel contact surfaces in air and seawater
Richard Pijpers, Henk Slot
Abstract
Abstract Through a series of laboratory friction tests on small scale specimens an understanding of the physical behaviour is gained. The test program of the friction tests contained 12 test specimen variants, with a combination of dry air and seawater environment and various surface conditions and contact pressures.
