(a) surface of the primary ring crack; (b) crack by thermal dilatation. Parametric conditions of the friction test : carbon 1 (primary ring variant), 5 daN (normal load), dry (surrounding), 3 m (mating ring finishing), 400 rad/s (rotational frequency). Temperature maximal measured during the test: 473°C.
