A test method for the determination of the frictional properties of silicon
steel sheet with a surface coating are discussed. The frictional propertie
s of this sheet are represented by a coefficient of the friction-strain cur
ve. The frictional properties of the coatings are described by a curve repr
esenting the difference between the coefficient of friction of the uncoated
sheet and that of the coated sheet versus the strain of the sheet. (C) 200
