I need the coefficient of kinetic friction for movement between greasy aluminium on carbon.
It's nowhere to be found on the internet.
Thanks in advance!

You could also try to measure it yourself.nilsvoorkamp1 said:Summary:: I need the coefficient of kinetic friction for movement between greasy aluminium on carbon.

Thanks for your reply!berkeman said:0.15 +/- 0.03
You're welcome.

I suspect it's more like 0.15+/- 0.5, depending on the details of the grease and the surfaces. I don't think you can nail it down nearly that precisely without more information.berkeman said:0.15 +/- 0.03

Do you have a source for that?cjl said:I suspect it's more like 0.15+/- 0.5, depending on the details of the grease and the surfaces. I don't think you can nail it down nearly that precisely without more information.
No, but I don't think I need a source for saying that the friction coefficient can vary widely depending on the details of the grease, surfaces, etc.nilsvoorkamp1 said:Do you have a source for that?
I'm talking about the value 0.15. I understand the number is not exact but that's ok. So i just want to put it in my project but I can't do that without showing where I got it form besides an internet forum.cjl said:No, but I don't think I need a source for saying that the friction coefficient can vary widely depending on the details of the grease, surfaces, etc.

Friction is a force that resists the relative motion between two surfaces that are in contact with each other.
Friction is typically measured by the force required to move one surface over another, divided by the force pushing the surfaces together.
The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless value that represents the amount of friction between two surfaces. It is calculated by dividing the force of friction by the normal force.
Aluminium on carbon can have a low coefficient of friction due to the smoothness of the surfaces. However, the type of aluminium and carbon used can also affect the frictional properties.
Friction between aluminium and carbon can be reduced by using lubricants or coatings on the surfaces, or by altering the surface roughness or contact pressure between the two materials.
