Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the microstructure and chemical makeup of various Ti-based alloys (Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-7Nb, TC21) affect the growth and breakdown of passive layers that prevent corrosion.
- Cyclic polarization and chronoamperometry were used to measure corrosion rates and the kinetics of passive layer growth, while dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS) assessed uniform corrosion rates in a saline solution at body temperature.
- Results indicated that TC21 exhibited the highest susceptibility to pitting corrosion, while Ti-6Al-7Nb showed the lowest resistance, and differences in microstructure were crucial to understanding the alloys' varying corrosion behaviors.
