Potentiodynamic Polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Used for Prediction of Nitinol Stent’s Lifetime

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is focused on prediction of nitinol stents lifetime. Stents have been tested before and after mechanical loading. Corrosion tests of mechanically loaded specimens indicated impairment of corrosion resistance and SEM observation confirmed presence of micro cracks in surface oxide layer created during heat treatment. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization in physiological solution was used for these particular experiments. Corrosion rate and other parameters have been used for calculation of released nickel ions weight and prediction of application lifetime.
