Tribo-chemical reaction (tribo-oxidation)
Tribological sliding contact leads to a chemical reaction. The reaction products influence the tribological processes at the surface; for instance, pairs of components with narrow tolerances can jam.
Tribo-chemical wear in cutting operations results from diffusion. In general, tribo-chemical wear increases with rising temperature. A frequent cause of tribo-chemical wear is oxidation.
The consequences of tribo-oxidation include fretting corrosion. |
