Using the combined action of wear and corrosion tribocorrosion causes the alteration or degradation of materials. It restricts the performance and lifetime of machines and devices with moving components, installations and controls manufacturing processes such as chemical–mechanical polishing. The impact of tribocorrosion is most on passive metals that attribute their corrosion reseistance to a thin protective oxide film. Most corrosion-resistant engineering alloys come under this category.
