The corrosion behavior of Ti-5Ag-xFe alloys (x ¼ 1, 2.5, 5 wt%) in neutral saline solution was investigated by the open-circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiostatic tests. The microstructural observation indicated that b-Ti phase was retained by the addition of Fe into Ti-Ag alloys. Compared with commercially pure (CP) Ti, Ti5Ag-xFe alloys exhibited higher corrosion potentials, lower current densities, and larger impedance, these suggested that Ti-5Ag-xFe alloys have nobler electrochemical corrosion behavior when compared with CP Ti in neutral saline solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
