This paper describes an investigation of the corrosion behavior of Ti-based dental materials with Au, CrNi and CoCr in Ringer solution by the use of Tafel plots, Evans diagrams and EIS Nyguist diagrams. The galvanic potentials and currents obtained for various implant couples are as follows: For, Ti6Al4V/CrNi couple -0.030 V (Ag/AgCl (3 M NaCl)) and 7.94 lA cm -2 ; for Ti6Al4V/ CoCr couple -0.020 V (Ag/AgCl (3 M NaCl)) and 7.08 lA cm -2 ; for Ti6Al4V/Au couple -0.020 V (Ag/ AgCl (3 M NaCl)) and 5.62 lA cm -2 . The Ti6Al4V/Au couple was found to be the most suitable one against galvanic corrosion according to both the Tafel method and mixed potential theory. The corrosion behaviors of Ti6Al4V/CoCr and Ti6Al4V/CrNi couples were found to be similar.
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.
