This first regional issue published in STMP highlights the potential and importance of the
research carried out in Latin America regarding surface engineering and tribology. In order …

This work aims to contribute to the understanding of the complex relationship between ball
material, friction, particle dynamics and wear during microabrasion tests. For that, five …

Microabrasion-corrosion tests were carried out to investigate how small changes in dilution
affect abrasion-corrosion resistance of Ni–Cr PTA welded deposits onto carbon steel. For …

The synergistic effect between abrasion and corrosion has been widely investigated and
debated, where according to some works this synergy accentuates wear, and for others …

Purpose This study aims to assess the performance of SAF 2205 duplex stainless steel
against pure wear, tribo-corrosion, corrosion and the synergism between wear and …

During abrasive wear, the wear mechanism has been shown to be associated with the
movement of the active particles present at the wear interface: rolling, evidenced by …

The micro-abrasion–corrosion behaviour of the biomedical Ti–25Nb–3Mo–3Zr–2Sn alloy in
Hank׳ s solution with protein has been investigated using electrochemical measurements …

This work carried out a systematic analysis to help understanding how surface roughness
and relative orientation between surface topography and direction of abrasive entrainment …

Mechanical events affect the corrosion behaviour of metals in a wide range of industrial
applications, but the synergy between corrosion and mechanical events do not allow them to …

The tribocorrosion behaviour of biomaterial Ti-25Nb-3Mo-3Zr-2Sn alloy in Ringer's solution
was evaluated by micro-abrasion experiments, electrochemical tests and scanning electron …
