Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop and to manufacture a fretting fatigue device to test aluminum wires that operate through a Material Testing Machine (MTS). The device was capable of inducing fretting fatigue in test wires, as occurs in the wires of a conductor within the suspension clamp. In order to design a device to meet all the needs for fretting to occur in wires, a study on the phenomenon of fretting fatigue was conducted. For the same purpose, a specification was also written that collects all the requirements and conditions that the device must meet. In conclusion, the device developed in this work can accomplish successfully the fretting fatigue test of two contacting wires.
