Tribocorrosion of Passive Materials: A Review on Test Procedures and Standards

Abstract

This paper reviews the most recent available literature relating to the electrochemical techniques and test procedures employed to assess tribocorrosion behaviour of passive materials. Over the last few decades, interest in tribocorrosion studies has notably increased, and several electrochemical techniques have been adapted to be applied on tribocorrosion research. Until 2016, the only existing standard to study tribocorrosion and to determine the synergism between wear and corrosion was the ASTM G119. In 2016, the UNE 112086 standard was developed, based on a test protocol suggested by several authors to address the drawbacks of the ASTM G119 standard. Current knowledge on tribocorrosion has been acquired by combining different electrochemical techniques. This work compiles different test procedures and a combination of electrochemical techniques used by noteworthy researchers to assess tribocorrosion behaviour of passive materials. A brief insight is also provided into the electrochemical techniques and studies made by tribocorrosion researchers.

Advanced Surface Treatments on Titanium and Titanium Alloys Focused on Electrochemical and Physical Technologies for Biomedical Applications

“…When wear and corrosion take place simultaneously, the process is known as tribocorrosion [20,30,31]. Tribocorrosion involves a complex synergism between wear and corrosion, since the material loss when both processes take place together Advanced Surface Treatments on Titanium and Titanium Alloys Focused on Electrochemical… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.85095 is higher than when they occur alone [10,[32][33][34][35][36]. This synergism is schematically represented in Figure 1.…”

Tribology: The Tool to Design Materials for Energy-Efficient and Durable Products and Process

“…The electrodes are connected to a potentiostat to register the potential between the reference electrode and the working electrode or the current between the counter-electrode and the working electrode. A typical tribocorrosion test setup is schematically shown in Figure 4 [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…These results correlate well with the wear scars measured after the test, for both coatings (see Figure 16). The technique has been used also in EU Projects FUNCOAT [7,[29][30][31], FRONTIERS [10], NADIA [32], in Regional project TRICONDEX [8], FRONTIERS [12], and National project NANOTRIBOCOR [9].…”
