| Abstract: | The tribocorrosion behavior of AZ31 and WE43 was investigated during sliding wear tests in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) and pure water. While wear volume increased monotonically with load in air and water, HBSS exhibited a distinct non-monotonic trend; the maximum material loss occurred at the minimum load (0.98 N) and decreased at 2.94 N before rising again. This indicates that at low loads, degradation is primarily driven by accelerated chemical dissolution (tribocorrosion) rather than by purely mechanical abrasion. The magnitude of wear followed the order [HBSS] > [air] > [water] in the low-load range (0.98–1.96 N), whereas it shifted to [air] > [HBSS] > [water] in the high-load range (2.94–5.88 N). A comparison of the wear rate of the alloys shows that the wear rate in HBSS differs from that in water, depending on the hardness of the substrate, similar to conditions in air. Notably, the specific wear rate decreased as test duration increased under low loads, further suggesting that corrosion-induced volume loss significantly outweighs mechanical wear in this regime. The static corrosion test revealed that volume loss during tribocorrosion was higher than that under static corrosion conditions. While the deposition of corrosion products affected net volume loss, chemical dissolution remained the primary driver of the observed wear trends at low loads. Electrochemical data from anodic polarization curves confirmed that the specimen tested under a 0.98 N load exhibited lower corrosion resistance. Mechanistically, it was suggested that Cl− ions contributed to the overall increase in wear, while NaHCO3 specifically contributed to the increase in wear in the low-load range.
