Progress in standardization of fretting fatigue terminology and testing

This paper reviews the current ASTM, ISO, and other standards that pertain in part to fretting fatigue and fretting wear testing. A historical perspective gives some background on why there still are relatively few standards for fretting fatigue and fretting wear testing. Current standards on the books tend to be application specific. In the past few years, there have been some new activities in standardization. These developments along with future needs in standardization are discussed.
