Nye's Investigation on Reducing Fretting Corrosion in Electrical Terminals

Jason Galary, Nye’s Engineering Development and Applications Manager, will present his paper, “Investigation of Fretting Wear and Durability of Electrical Terminals when Exposed to Variable Frequency Vibration,” at the 2015 International Tribology Conference. The conference will take place at the Tokyo University of Science, in Japan from September 16th-20th.  

Jay will be presenting his study on the phenomenon of Fretting Corrosion in Electrical Terminals. In this study, dielectric contact greases were tested to evaluate their effect on the reduction of fretting wear and the increased durability and life of electrical terminals used in a variety of applications, including Automotive, Aerospace, and Consumer Electronics.
