The transient liquid phase diffusion bonding (TLP-DB) was employed to join TiNi shape memory alloy (SMA) and stainless steel (SS) with an interlayer metal of Ag-Cu eutectic metal foil.The corrosion behavior of the TLP-DB joint in Hanks solution at 37°C was investigated by electrochemical methods.The results show that the corrosion resistance of the joint is comparable to, but lower than that of base metals during the early anodic polarization, and the corrosion rate of the joint is between that of TiNi SMA and SS in the transpassive region at high potentials. The corrosion resistance of the specimens in Hanks' solution is associated with the surface quality, mircotructure and the intermetallics. Both TiNi SMA and SS display the characteristics of localized corrosion with a little pitting corrosion, while the joints mainly show the characteristics of pitting corrosion concentrated on the enrichment Cu phases.

ABSTRACTNiTi shape memory alloy presents interesting mechanical properties as surgical implants. However, due to its high amount of Ni which may dissolve and release toxic ions in human fluids, the medical use of this material is a great concern. We have developed a laser treatment which modifies the oxide layer and enhances uniform and localised corrosion resistance of NiTi alloy.In this paper we further analysed the effect of this treatment with potentiostatic and AC impedance measurements in physiological Hank's solution. We conclude that the laser treatment creates a stable passive film which results in improved corrosion resistance of this alloy.
