= Tribocorrosion
{wiki=Tribocorrosion}
Tribocorrosion is a field of study that combines the effects of wear and corrosion on materials, particularly in environments where mechanical contact occurs alongside chemical or electrochemical processes. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in applications where materials are subjected to both friction (tribological interactions) and aggressive environments, such as in marine, biomedical, and industrial settings. In tribocorrosion, the wear process can enhance the corrosion of materials, and vice versa.
