Electrochemical behavior of equal channel angular pressed titanium for biomedical application

Abstract

Abstract. Equal channel angular pressing method is one of the prominent severe plastic deformation techniques to obtain ultrafine grained and even nanostructured metals and alloys by imposing intense plastic strain. As known, pure titanium can be a suitable candidate for biomedical applications because it does not release any toxic ions into the body fluids and also, its biocompatibility properties. The present investigation deals the corrosion behavior of commercial pure titanium before and after ECAP process up to 10 passes by route B C at the 250 °C in the 0.9% NaCl solution. The electrochemical results revealed that the corrosion resistance of titanium sample is improved by adding pass number because of the fabrication of passive oxide layer on the surface of the material. It is found that about 92% reduction at the corrosion rate magnitude and also, approximately 41% improvement at the hardness value have been achieved at the final pass as compared to the annealed condition. Furthermore, it is observed that the passive film on the surface of final pass sample is dense and integral with uniform structure, while the as-received one has some rarefactions and does not have very uniform surface.

The Toxicity Phenomenon and the Related Occurrence in Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: A Brief Review From the Biomedical Perspective

“…Titanium oxide NPs are among the most manufactured NPs with approximately 10,000 tons yearly production, owing to its unique properties such as suitable strength and Young’s modulus ( Ansarian et al, 2019 ; Attarilar et al, 2020 ), biocompatibility ( Attarilar et al, 2019 ), corrosion resistance ( Gode et al, 2015 ), solubility properties, surface structure, and the related aggregation manner so it has a lot of applications in industry as listed in Table 1 . This wide use of TiO 2 NPs and its post disposal in the environment may arise the health and ecosystem issues hence its impact on live organisms in vitro and in vivo must be studied and considered.…”

3D Printing Technologies in Metallic Implants: A Thematic Review on the Techniques and Procedures

“…In fact, the Young elastic modulus is of great importance in bone applications since a higher elastic modulus can lead to stress-shielding effect that could lead to implant failure; hence, the porous designs are preferred since they have a potential to control the stress-shielding effect[ 110 ]. Furthermore, Ti-based alloys exhibit excellent corrosion resistance in simulated body fluids[ 111 , 112 ]. Considering the above-mentioned superior features of Ti-based materials, 3DP of Ti is growing in importance for its application and bound to attract much attention.…”

Functional Gradient Metallic Biomaterials: Techniques, Current Scenery, and Future Prospects in the Biomedical Field

“…Among these metallic materials, Ti attracted much attention because of its supreme biocompatibility, excellent corrosion resistance, low density, good mechanical properties, etc. (Rack and Qazi, 2006;Gode et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2017a;Attarilar et al, 2019aAttarilar et al, ,b, 2020. For the case of Ti utilized in dental and orthopedic surgeries, the main goal of functionalization is to improve the osseointegration of the implant by surface engineering (Yang et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2015;Zhu et al, 2016;Ding et al, 2019;.…”
