This SAE Recommended Practice is intended as the definition of a standard test, which may be subject to frequent change to keep pace with experience and technical advances. This should be kept in mind when considering its use. This SAE No. 2 friction test monitors the µ-v curve for a negative slope which can be used to evaluate a wet clutch system (WCS) anti-shudder performance and can be used for any wet driveline mechanism. WCS shudder is considered a clutch failure condition. The cause of shudder is consistent with glazing as the primary failure mode. It has been shown that a substantial loss of the wet friction material surface porosity leads to a glaze forming on the friction material surface. This process typically leading to a negative dµ/dv slope over time as addressed in SAE 2020-01-0560.
