The study on tribologically-induced oxidation using copper as a model system reveals that the oxidation is controlled by test duration, with plastic deformation creating high diffusivity pathways such as dislocations, grain, and phase boundaries.
The lifetime of moving metallic components is often limited by accelerated oxidation. Yet, the mecha-nisms and pathways for oxidation during tribological loading are not well understood. Using copper as a model system, tribologically-induced oxidation is systematically investigated by varying the sliding speed and test duration under mild tribological loading. We demonstrate that tribo-oxidation is controlled by test duration rather than the number of cycles or the sliding speed. Plastic deformation from tribological loading creates dislocations, grain and phase boundaries that act as high diffusivity pathways. A combina-tion of electron microscopy and atom probe tomography revealed significantly enhanced atomic concen-tration of the diffusing species around dislocations. Oxygen diffusion into the bulk as well as of copper towards the free surface along these defects control the oxide formation kinetics. Our work paves the way for formulating a physics-based understanding for tribo-oxidation, which is crucial to develop strategies to slow or decrease oxidation and to strategically tailor surfaces to increase the lifetime of engineering systems.
