Notes on the static friction characteristics of deva metal grade B1/6 on a steel backing plate under different bearing pressures and mating surfaces (IM-DYN-025)

Three important factors emerge from the tests; each influences the design of the rig. 1. The roughness of the mating surface. 2. The direction of the machining [text omitted as illegible]'. 3. The lowering of the static friction if the surfaces remain uncleaned. To obviate the...
