Abstract :
The equipment used for the collection of contact resistance data under fretting conditions is presented. The fretting testing apparatus including the computer control measuring system is presented. The investigations of fretting behavior of cobalt-hardened gold surface and two gold flashed palladium-nickel plated surfaces were conducted.
