**4. Conclusions**

The wear-corrosion synergism for the tribo-pair was be calculated using Equations (1) and (2). A positive synergy between wear and corrosion is highly undesirable. The experiment as detailed by ASTM G119 was used to analyze the tribocorrosion behavior of Inconel 718. The described method of tribocorrosion testing enables the measurement of the galvanic current between the passive (cathode, unworn area) and the depassivated (anode, worn area) areas of the sample surface at OCP. The following conclusions can be drawn from the present study:
