Comparative Study of the Tribocorrosion Performance of NiTiNOL60 in Acidic, Alkaline, and Saline Environments
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In order to enhance the durability of tribological interfaces, an investigation into the synergistic effects of sliding wear, corrosion, and their interactions is crucial. This study focuses on understanding the deformation mechanisms of NiTiNOL60, a nickel-rich nickel-titanium alloy, during sliding against Al2O3 in different corrosive environments, including acidic, alkaline, and saline mediums. The pH of the environments is found to play a significant role in the tribocorrosion process, leading to electromechanically induced transformations and various wear patterns. Plastic deformations are observed on the wear track surfaces, particularly in the severe and mild wear regimes. In an alkaline environment, depassivation of the oxide layer triggers oxidational wear, with the depassivation rate dependent on factors like contact pressure, sliding velocity, and passive film properties. The wear volume is highest in saline environments, with contributions from mechanical wear, corrosion, and third-body abrasion. Grain deformations occur in the alkaline environment due to shear forces, while in the acidic medium, corrosion accelerates mild wear involving abrasion and delamination. The findings provide insights into wear mechanisms and localized corrosion, highlighting the influence of H+ and OH− groups (pH values) on corrosive wear and crack propagation.
