초록

In this paper we examined the contribution of mechanical and electrochemical factors in corrosive wear for Zr-alloy against $Al_2O_3$ ball in $Na_2SO_4$ solution. Normal load and the area of metallic specimen was varied to change the corrosion behavior. At the commence of sliding, the potential drop took place, which increased with load due to the great exposure of fresh surface. Wear volume was linearly proportional to load. The corrosion factor was about 15%. By increasing the Aa/Ac ratio, corrosion factor to total wear decreases and saturates above Aa/Ac=0.15.
