About this Research Topic
Tribocorrosion, encompassing the synergistic impact of wear and corrosion on materials, holds paramount relevance across diverse engineering domains. Recent discoveries have highlighted how environmental conditions like pH and salinity, alongside mechanical and electrochemical factors, dictate material performances under tribocorrosion stress. Despite significant strides in elucidating these relationships, critical gaps remain, particularly concerning the specific tribocorrosion behaviors in acidic conditions and the effects of various surface treatments on material resilience. Discussions continue around the mechanistic contributions of mechanical forces and electrochemical processes in tribocorrosion, as well as how these processes vary under different prevailing electrochemical scenarios.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the tribocorrosion characteristics of assorted materials within diverse operational contexts and scrutinize how surface treatments modify these properties. The investigation will focus on resolving questions regarding the influence of acidic environments on the tribocorrosion properties of various materials and evaluating the effectiveness of surface treatments like burnishing and electroless plating in enhancing tribocorrosion resistance. Additionally, hypotheses regarding the interaction between mechanical forces and electrochemical processes in tribocorrosion will be tested, particularly how these interactions influence the rate of material degradation.
Concentrating on a detailed exploration within prescribed limits, this research topic seeks to provide a broader understanding of tribocorrosion phenomena and the mitigation potential of surface treatments. To this end, we invite contributions that may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Evaluation of burnishing and electroless plating in improving tribocorrosion resistance.
- Analysis of mechanical and electrochemical synergies in tribocorrosion processes.
- Study of how prevailing electrochemical conditions affect mechanical material degradation.
- Investigations into the tribocorrosion responses of materials across different environments such as acidic, alkaline, and saline.
- Examination of how mechanical characteristics influence corrosion-induced material deterioration.
