Plating Friction
Plating Friction
(OP)
This must have been asked before but my search turns nothing up.
what would be the coefficient of friction for a bolted joint when all parts are plated , components, washer, nut & bolt. I usually use 0.2 for the slip between two uncoated steel parts but plated parts seem "slippery" although the zinc coating would probably yield? so the figure may be higher??
Thanks

RE: Plating Friction
What type zinc coating do you have, hot dipped, electrolytic, or mechanical?

We use electrolytic plating. The bright silver finish.
