Corrosion Behavior of Porous Ti-24Nb-4Zr Alloy in Different Simulated Body Fluids

Article Preview

Abstract:

Porous Ti alloys are novel biomedical candidates for surgical implant application. The corrosion resistance of porous Ti-24Nb-4Zr alloy with 41.54% porosity prepared from conventional sintering was investigated by means of open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques in 0.9% NaCl physiological and Hank’s solutions with different pH values (2.4, 5.4, 7.4) at 310 K, respectively. Meaning solid Ti-24Nb-4Zr alloy was chosen as a reference. Porous Ti-24Nb-4Zr alloy shows wide passive regions based on anodic polarization curves. These observations suggest that porous Ti-24Nb-4Zr alloy owns excellent corrosion resistance. Therefore, they are potential for biomedical applications.
