Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion - Call for Papers: Mechanisms and Modelling of Tribocorrosion
Since the late 1980s, tribocorrosion as a field of systematic study has seen rapid growth. A large body of knowledge has been generated. One of the most prominent phenomena observed in various tribocorrosion systems is synergy between wear and corrosion: material loss rate under the joint mechanical and chemical/electrochemical actions is usually higher, in many cases much higher, than the simple addition of loss rates due to each process acting separately. Minimizing the synergistic effect has huge economic implications to many industries as a result of improved efficiency and reliability and reduced production costs. Likewise, advances in the important subfield of biomedical implants can have significant impact on the quality of human life.
Modelling is a powerful and effective tool to increase our understanding of the tribocorrosion phenomenon. Tribocorrosion is extremely complex and the basic mechanisms involved in different systems are still the subject of many fundamental researches. Adequately established models can not only help to explain the observed system behaviour but can also provide insights or extrapolate to situations or data that go beyond what is already known from direct investigation of the phenomenon. Mechanism studies and modelling complement each other. Thus, mechanism studies provide basis for modelling and in the meantime, modelling offers guidance useful for further mechanism understanding.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect high quality research papers and review articles that focus on the modelling and basic mechanism studies of tribocorrosion to promote better understanding of the phenomenon. Bio-tribocorrosion is an important subfield of tribocorrosion and is also covered in this Special Issue. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Basic mechanisms in different systems
• Modelling and simulation
• Mapping and/or construction of wear maps
• Key factors affecting the behaviour of tribocorrosion systems and their interpretations
