Coefficients of friction for zinc-cobalt and cadmium plated connectors [Alberta] 

+++++

I am investigating why backshells are becoming loose after being torqued on cable connectors. The connectors and backshells are mix match combinations, and are cadmium plated & zinc-cobalt plated. I have not been able to identify or find out what the coefficients of friction are for the cadmium plated and zinc-cobalt plated connectors and backshells are. Anyone can lend some help?
