Both fretting wear and fretting corrosion can cause irreversible damage to the surface of the material, and they often occur simultaneously to produce a coupling effect, causing greater harm. The coupling problem of fretting wear and corrosion is a common mechanism leading to material failure in industrial applications, which involves the interaction of many complex factors such as mechanical vibration, oxidation, abrasive wear and corrosion. The work aims to explore the failure mechanism of fretting wear and its coupling with corrosion and then evaluate the effectiveness of low-friction surface technique in slowing this problem.
