Tribocorrosion Behaviors of D40 Steel in Artificial Seawater

Abstract:

The friction, corrosion and tribocorrosion experiments were carried out to study the tribocorrosion characteristics of the D40 steel. Friction process was undertaken using a TriboLab. The electrochemical property of D40 steel was studied using an electrochemical workstation. The surface morphologies of the D40 steel after experiments were characterized by white light interferometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The results indicated that both the tribocorrosion and corrosion process of D40 steel under the condition of seawater were controlled by the cathodic oxygen diffusion. The diffusion rate of oxygen in the solution was accelerated by the friction. The phenomenon of Cl ion adsorption was more obvious for the D40 steel during tribocorrosion test, and the corrosion resistance was significantly reduced due to the promotion of friction.
