AbstractTribo-corrosion mechanisms of 316L Stainless Steel in slurries containing common household soft drinks have been studied through investigating the micro-abrasioncorrosion performance using a ball and disk apparatus which has been modified to measure the in-situ corrosion current during the abrasion process. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pH and solution viscosity on the micro-abrasioncorrosion performance of the material. 316L Stainless Steel was selected because it is commonly used as a dental replacement material. This is an important area of work as the use of steel retainers as well as other stainless steel dental replacements is still widespread and the effectiveness of these devices will be determined by their tribological and tribo-corrosion performance. Additionally, an attempt has been made to investigate the importance of the pH and viscosity variables on the tribo-corrosive synergism, wastage and mechanism maps.

Tribocorrosion behavior of nickel-aluminium bronze sliding against alumina under the lubrication by seawater with different halide concentrations

“…9(b)−9(d), it was clear that over the entire range of halide concentration, the total material loss of NAB alloy was dominated by wear, including pure mechanical wear and corrosion-induced wear. This was consistent with the criteria proposed by Stack et al [35], which considered the ratio of the total corrosion rate (C = C 0 + ΔC w ) to the total wear rate (W = W 0 + ΔW c ). For C/W ≤ 0.1, wear is the primary contributor to material degradation; for 0.1 < C/W ≤ 10, both wear and corrosion contribute significantly to material loss, and for C/W > 10, corrosion is the dominant mechanism.…”

Micro-abrasion-corrosion Maps of 316L Stainless Steel in Artificial Saliva

“…The flatness was confirmed by taking R a measurements using a Surftest SV-2000 (Mitutoyo, Japan). The density of the samples was confirmed experimentally to be 7.99e6 g/cm 3 . The chemical composition (Table 1) of the samples was confirmed using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDX).…”

“…In some recent studies, micro-abrasion and corrosion mechanisms of 316L stainless steel in various solutions, including artificial saliva, have been examined. No studies have, however, explicitly focused on the synergistic effects of micro-abrasion and corrosion mechanisms which take place on 316L stainless steel in an artificial saliva solution [2][3][4][5][6].…”

A comparison of the tribological behaviour of Y-TZP in tea and coffee under micro-abrasion conditions

“…Furthermore, the influences of the increased load are more significant under 2-body mechanisms [36]. However, the increasing common consumption of fizzy soft drinks creates an environment in the oral cavity that exceeds the acidity (with a pH of 3.0 or lower) and viscosity of the tested drink solutions [37], which has been addressed in previous work by the current authors [38,39]. The results of these experiments suggest that there are additional factors, which are not included in the Archard Equation, that must be considered in evaluating the performance of Y-TZP dental implants.…”
