Existing sliding tribocorrosion models have been developed for homogeneous passive metals such as stainless steel and pure metals. Many technical alloys contains however second phases, usually much harder than the metallic matrix, intended to provide better mechanical properties. The tribocorrosion models are based on the assumption of nearly perfect plastic behavior that is not necessarily representative...
An increase in the complexity and severity of service conditions demands improvements in the design of new engineering materials that are resistant to the effects of tribocorrosion. Unfortunately, there is typically a tradeoff between wear and corrosion resistance, even for important passive metals such as Al alloys. In this work, it was shown that alloying Al with Mn in supersaturated solid solution...
It has been shown that the synthesis of TiO2 nanotubes by anodization provides outstanding properties to Ti surfaces intended for dental and orthopedic implants applications. Beyond the very well-known potential of these surfaces to improve osseointegration and avoid infection, the knowledge on the adhesion and degradation behavior of TiO2 nanotubes under the simultaneous action of wear and corrosion...
Ti6Al4V has extensive uses in the marine and biomedical industry. In some of these applications, corrosion is present with additional mechanical wear. Thus, the corrosion, wear and their synergistic properties were investigated in applications where there were specifically induced material property changes, such as in welding. One such welding technique, friction-stir-welding, is a well-suited method...
