Table 3

The modified Goldberg score [9] according to Cusick et al. [11].

DamageScoreCriteria

Minimal1Fretting on <10% of the surface and no corrosion damage
Mild2Fretting on >10% of the surface and/or corrosion attack confined to one or small areas
Moderate3Fretting on >30% of the surface and/or aggressive local corrosion attack with corrosion debris
Severe4Damage over the majority (>50%) of the surface with severe corrosion attack and abundant corrosion debris
