Domaine(s)
  • Altération des métaux
DEF

Processus d'endommagement des matériaux (par usure, fissuration...) qui résulte des actions combinées du frottement et de la corrosion.

CONT

La tribocorrosion est responsable de la dégradation de nombreuses pièces mécaniques en mouvement dans des milieux agressifs : arbres de transmission, éléments de pompes, roulements, paliers, etc. C'est un phénomène encore mal connu : en particulier, il est difficile d'évaluer l'effet de synergie entre les mécanismes de frottement et de corrosion.
