Fretting-wear and fretting-fatigue loadings can both result in wear (material loss) and in crack nucleation and propagation (fatigue process). This paper deals with cracking induced by small amplitude displacements in the case of aeronautic aluminium alloys. The two sets of fretting maps are introduced: running condition fretting map is composed of partial slip (sticking), mixed fretting and gross sliding regime; material response fretting map is associated with two macro-degradation modes. Crack nucleation and propagation are analysed for every fretting regime. The mixed fretting regime appeared most detrimental with regards to fatigue cracking. Slip amplitude and normal load main effects discussed for fretting wear can be used to justify the fatigue limit decrease often obtained for fretting fatigue experiments.
