Tribocorrosion Behavior of Near-Beta Alloys for Biomedical Applications
摘要
In order to combat inflammation and allergic reactions brought on by biomaterialBiomaterial implants into the human body, corrosionCorrosion prevention in biomaterialsBiomaterial has become essential. Most of these metal implants developed strong antagonistic relationships with one another when they came into touch with fluidic environments like the bloodstream and bodily tissue, which in turn encouraged corrosionCorrosion. Due to its combined benefits of a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosionCorrosion resistance, and favorable biocompatibilityBiocompatibility, titaniumTitanium (Ti) and its alloys have emerged as the most appealing metallic materials used in medical applications, particularly in orthopedic and dental implants, when compared to other biomaterialsBiomaterial like Co–Cr alloys and stainless steelsStainless steel. The corrosionCorrosion resistance of Ti alloys increases with increasing element addition. Based on the literature and results obtained from the polarization curve and electrochemical impedance, the near-beta alloys were shown to be corrosionCorrosion resistant because of the passive films formed on their surfaces.
