Electrochemical properties, chemical composition and thickness of passive film formed on novel Ti–20Nb–10Zr–5Ta alloy

Tribocorrosion behavior of beta titanium biomedical alloys in phosphate buffer saline solution

“…This is not surprising since the passive film thickness does not really change with the selected potentials [40]. According to the passivation kinetics of the studied alloys, Figure 3, they completely repassivates during each stroke (every 1 second).…”

Determination and explanation of the pH-related critical fluoride concentration of pure titanium in acidic solutions using electrochemical methods

“…Ti 2 O 3 ), respectively, with reference to the NIST XPS database [22]. It can be observed from the fitting results shown in the legends of Fig. 14 that the films are mainly composed of TiO 2 under all conditions, which is common for the films formed in aqueous solutions [23,24]. Furthermore, the compositions of the films polarized at different cathodic potentials are similar to each other at either pH = 1.0 (Region I) or pH = 5.0 (Region II), demonstrating that no film reduction reaction occurs at cathodic potentials.…”

Corrosion behavior of Ti–39Nb alloy for dentistry

“…Additionally, another substantial aspect to be considered is corrosion resistance of these elements. It has been determined that the resistance of the β-titanium alloys in the human body is equal to or even greater than that of Ti-6Al-4V and Ti grade 4 [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
