Abstract
Wear behaviors of the FeCoCrMoCBY bulk metallic glass (BMG), 316 L stainless steel (SS), and CoCrMo alloy under wet sliding in the phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution were studied and compared with those under dry sliding. The Fe-based BMG exhibited an excellent corrosive wear resistance with a low wear rate of 1.84 × 10−8 mm3 mm−1•N − 1. On the contrary, the CoCrMo alloy and 316 L SS suffered from the synergistic effect of corrosion and wear in the PBS solution. The electrochemical results revealed that the Fe-based BMG possessed the greatest corrosion performance in the PBS solution among three alloys. The excellent corrosion behavior of the Fe-based BMG was attributed to the highly-protective surface passivation film enriched in Cr and Mo elements. The triobocorrosion results manifested that the great anti-corrosive-wear capacity of the Fe-based BMG can be ascribed to the high stable passivation process during wet sliding.
