Definition
Wear is the surface failure resulting from dynamic contact between two surfaces such as abrasion and erosion. Corrosive wear is defined as the damage caused by synergistic attack of wear and corrosion when wear occurs in a corrosive environment. In the literature, the term tribo-corrosion also refers to corrosive wear.
The Severity of Corrosive Wear
The damage to materials by wear can be enhanced significantly, depending on the corrosivity of the surrounding medium, which can be a fluid or gas. Figure 1 illustrates how the environment affects the wear loss of 1030 steel.
Weight losses of 1030 steel versus load in oil lubricants containing different corrosive media, respectively: 10 ml oil + 2 ml addition of a corrosive medium. The wear tests were performed at a sliding velocity of 0.6 m/s for 20 min. 1-Oil, 2-Oil + H2O, 3-Oil + NaCl, 4-Oil + H2SO4
