Cold Welding in Hold Down Points of Space Mechanisms Due to Fretting When Omitting Grease
Cold welding refers to an effect related to space (vacuum). The heavy vibrations during a launch subject interfaces (hold down points) to oscillating motions which may lead to formation of a kind of “friction weld”. If so, these mechanisms may get stuck, and deployment will be hindered. This may end...
