51316-7270-Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior of Niobium Alloys as Metallic Bio-Implants

Picture for Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior of Niobium Alloys as Metallic Bio-Implants
Available for download

Mechanical properties and microstructure of Nb-Ta-Re, Nb-Re, Nb-Pd, and Nb-Pt alloys were studied by nano-indentation measurements and X-ray diffraction. Corrosion behavior was compared by electrochemical methods, including open circuit potential measurement, potentiodynamic, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Alloying is one of the most important methods to improve the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of metals. Previous studies show that the corrosion resistance of niobium Nb could be increased by Ta alloying in alkali solutions. Nevertheless, compared with Ti alloys, only a few Nb alloys were reported to increase their corrosion resistance. In this work, the mechanical properties and microstructure of Nb-Ta-Re, Nb-Re, Nb-Pd, and Nb-Pt alloys were studied by nano-indentation measurements and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The corrosion behavior of these alloys was compared by electrochemical methods, including open circuit potential measurement, potentiodynamic, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and sodium fluoride solutions. The properties of the passive films formed on these alloys were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that Ta or Re alloying could increase the hardness and elastic modulus of Nb, however, these alloying elements did not significantly modify the phase structure of Nb. All of these Nb alloys show high corrosion resistance in PBS and NaF-containing PBS solutions, and no pitting behavior was observed. Re and Ta alloying could further increase the corrosion resistance of Nb, however, small amounts of Pd and Pt alloying did not significantly affect the corrosion resistance of Nb.

To investigate the role of Cr and Cu in steels in different solutions, four kinds of low carbon steel with different Cr and Cu concentrations were prepared to investigate the effect of alloying elements on their corrosion behavior. Solutions of 3.5 wt.% NaCl, diluted hydrochloric acid and diluted sulphuric acid (pH=1.4-1.5) were used.

Four low carbon steels with different Cr and Cu concentrations were prepared to investigate the effect of alloying elements on their corrosion behavior in 3.5% NaCl solution diluted hydrochloric acid and dilute sulphuric acid (pH=1.4-1.5) respectively. Electrochemical measurement and immersion test at room temperature characterized the corrosion behavior and evaluated the corrosion rate.

Dental implants are exposed to a wide range of pH values of saliva and different concentrations of fluoride. In this study, the effects of fluoride concentration and pH value on the corrosion behavior of Nb-10Ta-1Re and Ti-6Al-4V alloys in artificial saliva at 37°C were investigated by electrochemical measurements.
