Sliding wear tests of six different metals including carbon steel, stainless steel and copper base alloys rubbed against A1O and a bearing steel were carried out in 3% NaCl solution using a reciprocating ball-on-disk test rig equipped with an electrochemical potentiostat. The obtained results indicate that the corrosive wear resistance should be evaluated by synthetically considering many factors: electrochemical potentials, material properties, and corrosion characteristics of the contacting materials, including corrosive products.
