Tribology/corrosion caused huge economic losses and restricted service performance as well as the safety of materials. Thus, the evaluation and improvement of tribological/corrosion properties of materials are highly desirable and necessary. The methods of enhancing their properties include alloying treatment and protective coatings such as superhydrophobic surface, spray coating, micro-arc oxidation, etc. The detailed tribology/corrosion resistance mechanism needs to be explored to contribute to further improvement of the properties. The conclusions should provide empirical references and a theoretical basis for future study. The service life of materials with or without treatment need to be compared to reveal the protective efficiency of the mentioned method.
The present Research Topic focuses on innovative solutions to abrasion/corrosion problems in practical engineering. They can be the addition of appropriate alloying elements and preparing protective coatings on the materials. Papers should clearly elaborate the experiment parameters such as optimization of the concentration of alloying element, preparation process, coating preparation technology and process optimization, etc. The detailed mechanism of improving abrasion/corrosion properties needs to be described and verified by experimental data. The relevant molecular dynamics simulation is welcome to corroborate the experimental results. The protective methods should be suitable for practical application or possess advancements of the theoretical basis for their further improvement.
The scope of the Research Topic includes but are not limited to:
1. Protective coatings including superhydrophobic surfaces, micro-arc oxidation, magnetron sputtering, etc.
2.The friction/corrosion degradation mechanisms of coatings in the dynamic complex practical service environment.
3. Developing self-adaptive coatings that are suitable for application in various environments.
4. The friction/corrosion resistance of materials can be improved by alloying treatment and the influencing mechanism should be clarified.
5. The correlation among preparation process, chemical components, structure, and properties of coatings.
6. Innovative methods that are environmental, economic, and convenient for practical application.
7. Novel principles, methods, and ideas for wear/corrosion.
Keywords:
Friction, Abrasion, Film and coatings, Corrosion, Surface/interface characteristics
