      1979 - 1983
      Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Mechanical Engineering

      Studied the friction and wear of austenitic stainless steels in sodium chloride solutions. This interrelation between friction and corrosive wear was investigated in a system composed of AISI 304 stainless steel sliding against a sintered alumina plate in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution. This done by utilizing a specially designed corrosion-friction machine that interfaced with the computerized PAR 350-1 corrosion system. The sliding velocity varied between 0.05 and0.35 m/sec while the load was 4 N.… Show more Studied the friction and wear of austenitic stainless steels in sodium chloride solutions.

The sliding velocity varied between 0.05 and0.35 m/sec while the load was 4 N. It was determined that a film potentiostatically grown on the surface of the specimen, at a potential well within the passive range reduces the coefficient of friction with respect to that obtained under dry conditions.
