Left: schematic of the electrochemical setup used by Espallargas et al. [97] connecting the uncoated sample (unworn surface) and coated sample (wear track) through a ZRA. Right: potential and current evolution for a Ti6Al4V rubbed against an Al₂O₃ ball at 540 MPa in artificial saliva, obtained by Licausi et al. [98] using this setup. The experimental results and the simulated values.
