摘要
Applying electrochemical polarization during wear experiments permits one to control the surface chemistry (presence or not of a passive oxide film) of a metal rubbing against an insulating body and to determine the relative contribution of mechanical (wear) and chemical (corrosion) mechanisms on the overall metal degradation. The degradation of carbon steel sliding against alumina was investigated in borate solution of pH 8.4 using a reciprocating ball on plate wear test rig equipped with an electrochemical cell. Three different hardness values were produced by application of appropriate heat treatments to the steel samples. It was found that the presence of a passive film decisively influenced the degradation mechanism and led to increased wear compared to the oxide free metal. Two different degradation mechanisms, wear accelerated corrosion and mechanical surface degradation favored by the passive film were identified as being responsible for this behavior and their relative contribution to overall material loss was determined.
