SS to SS Friction Factor
(OP)
Hi All,
Does anyone in the community know of any references to friction factors for contact between Stainless Steel to Stainless Steel?

RE: SS to SS Friction Factor
Carpenter Technology has a very good handbook available called 'Carpenter Stainless Steels.' Pages 327-329 give threshold gallin stresses for various combinations of stainlesses. Their on-line site doesn't show the table in same form, but you can enter the particular stainless steel(s) to get the galling data. Under Technical, Properties, Wear Resistance. Same place gives 'Average Volume Loss-Abrasive Wear Resistance' data. Registration (free) required.

If there is little lube and much load then they will gall.

RE: SS to SS Friction Factor
Thanks for the responses. However the situation is a stainless steel pipe shoe (304) against stainless steel supporting steel (304). The loads are highish (greater than 40 KN with area of contact 37500 Sqmm) -there will be no lubrication.
Any other thoughts?

Would be nice to know something about the corrosive conditions, maybe even the metal temperature.
