Effect of electrochemical potential on tribocorrosion behavior of low temperature plasma carburized 316L stainless steel in 1Â M H2SO4 solution

► Electrochemical potential has a significant effect on tribocorrosion behavior. ► Carburizing is very effective in improving tribocorrosion behavior at anodic potentials. ► Carburizing is not effective at cathodic potentials. ► Chemical wear dominates material loss from the carburized specimen.
