Summary:In this paper, the friction coefficient was measured using a computer-controlled electrical system. The obtained results of the friction behavior during the polishing process indicate that the friction coefficient increases in the first minutes of polishing and then tends to be stable. The effect of some polishing parameters such as velocity and polishing pad nature was studied. It was found that these parameters have an important influence on the friction behavior. Indeed, it was found that the increase of the velocity reduces the friction coefficient. However, the nature of the polishing pads produces enormous variation of the friction coefficient.
