The GOX and LOX frictional heating tests evaluate a material’s susceptibility to ignition by frictional heating. These tests include rotational friction tests and reciprocal friction tests and can be used to:
- Assess the ability of a pair of materials to convert mechanical energy to thermal energy during rubbing,
- Determine the coefficient of friction and wear,
- Determine the minimum contact pressure (P) required to ignite a test material specimen at a given linear surface velocity (v) for rotational friction tests,and
- Determine whether the materials will ignite at the test frequency profile and displacement of movement for reciprocal friction tests…Learn more
