Modeling fretting-corrosion wear of 316L SS against poly(methyl methacrylate) with the Point Defect Model: Fundamental theory, assessment, and outlook

► Point Defect Model (PDM) predicts wear track area of 316L under fretting corrosion against PMMA. ► PDM is an efficient model close to Open Circuit Potential of 316L. ► Ohmic drop and pH evolutions explain the 'W' wear track area of 316L.
