Tribocorrosion of Thermal Sprayed Coatings

Triboelectrochemical response is concerned with different electrochemical-controlled wear experiments designed to understand tribocorrosion behaviour of materials and coatings. Tribocorrosion is defined as material degradation resulting from simultaneous action of wear and corrosion and it is found in many engineering applications, but the involved mechanisms are still only partially understood. In this chapter, a brief overview of tribocorrosion testing techniques is followed by issues which have helped us in gaining in-depth scientific knowledge of tribocorrosion. The overview is further substantiated by detailed studies and observations on tribocorrosion of thermal sprayed coatings in recent times.
