This article presents the results from a study of yarn-to-yarn (YY) and yarn-to-metal (YM) frictions conducted on ring, rotor, air-jet, and open-end friction (OE friction) spun yarns at different relative speeds and input tensions. The results indicate that the behavior of frictions for YY is different than that of YM. In case of YY friction, OE friction yarn shows maximum friction followed by rotor, air-jet, and ring spun yarns; however, a reverse order is noticed for YM friction. The relative speed and input tension have significant influence on the frictional behavior of spun yarns. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, nic.
