| Abstract Scope |
Tribocorrosion explains the interaction between mechanical wear and chemical corrosion on metal surfaces. In a given system, the mechanical and chemical contributions are hard to distinguish. Therefore, applied potential control can be used as a means to distinguish mechanical and chemical factors and their interplay. For example, metal oxidation can result in harder wear particles, which can also increase the mechanical wear. Likewise, mechanical damage can damage the protective surface oxide, while the chemical environment determines how fast it can be reformed. Here, we present various examples and factors to improve the interpretation and application of tribocorrosion tests on biomedical alloys like Ti6Al4V, stainless steel, and Co28Cr6Mo. We emphasize the influence of microstructure, changed through various manufacturing methods and heat treatments, and the influence of the solution composition and proteins. |
