Tribocorrosion causes the degradation or alteration of materials
through the combined action of corrosion and wear. It limits the
performance and life-time of installations, machines and devices
with moving parts, and controls certain manufacturing processes
such as chemical-mechanical polishing. The effects of
tribocorrosion are most pronounced on passive metals which owe
their corrosion resistance to a thin protecting oxide film. Most
corrosion-resistant engineering alloys belong to this category.
This book provides an introduction to the developing field of
tribocorrosion and an overview of the latest research. Part one
reviews basic notions of corrosion and tribology, before presenting
the most recent results on the growth and structure of passive
oxide films. Tribocorrosion mechanisms under fretting, sliding and
erosion conditions, respectively, are then discussed. Part two
focuses on methods for measuring and preventing tribocorrosion. It
includes chapters on electrochemical techniques, the design of
tribocorrosion test equipment, data evaluation and the optimisation
of materials properties for tribocorrosion systems. Part three
presents a selection of tribocorrosion problems in engineering and
medicine. Three chapters address the tribocorrosion of medical
implants including test methods and clinical implications. Other
chapters examine tribocorrosion issues in nuclear power plants,
marine environments, automotive cooling circuits,
elevated-temperature metal working and chemical-mechanical
polishing.
With its distinguished editors and international team of expert
contributors Tribocorrosion of passive metals and coatings is an
invaluable reference tool for engineers and researchers in industry
and academia confronted with tribocorrosion problems.
Comprehensively reviews current research on the tribocorrosion of
passive metals and coatings, with particular reference to the
design of tribocorrosion test equipment, data evaluation and the
optimisation of materials properties for tribocorrosion
systemsChapters discuss tribocorrosion mechanisms under fretting,
sliding and erosion conditions before focussing on methods for
