Evolution of OCP during tribocorrosion

Open circuit potential (OCP) and its evolution during a tribocorrosion test give insight into the materials degradation process that sets in with the synergistic action of mechanical and electrochemical components. In this application note, explore how Bruker’s UMT TriboLab™ provides a means to track the evolution of OCP during a tribocorrosion test, combining tribology and electrochemistry capabilities into one system. Furthermore, consider how this technology is designed to help scientists and engineers develop novel materials that resist tribocorrosion, and thus are more reliable and durable in aggressive environments.
