The present thesis deals with the assessment of tribocorrosion of HSLA steels used in chains of offshore mooring lines, which have been reported to be profoundly affected by both wear and corrosion during their service life. Additionally, the second part of the thesis is focused on the evaluation of protective coatings employed for the protection of steel components and structures from corrosion.

Esta Tesis Doctoral propone una nueva metodología de ensayo con la que se contribuirá a simplificar los métodos de selección de tratamientos alternativos al cromo electrolítico cuando deslizan contra polímeros. El caso de estudio sobre el que se ha trabajado es un elemento de sellado del sistema hidráulico presente en el tren de aterrizaje delantero del avión comercial Embraer ERJ 145, una aeronave de uso común en trayectos regionales de no más de 50 pasajeros.
