The corrosion of implant biomaterials is a well-known critical issue when they are in contact with biological fluids. Therefore, the reactivity of Ti6Al4V implant biomaterials is monitored during immersion in a Hanks’ physiological solution without and with added metabolic compounds, such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and a mixture of the two. Electrochemical characterization is done by measuring the open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy performed at different intervals of time. Electrochemical results were completed by morphological and compositional analyses as well as X-ray diffraction before and after immersion in these solutions. The results indicate a strong effect from the inflammatory product and the synergistic effect of the metabolic lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide inflammatory compound on the reactivity and corrosion resistance of an implant titanium alloy.

The corrosion behavior of GW63 (Mg-6wt.%Gd-3wt.%Y-0.4wt.%Zr) alloys in 5% NaCl aqueous solution has been investigated by PARSTAT 2273 instrument. The Open Circuit Potential (ECORR) vs. time curve, cyclic polarization (Pitting Scans) curve and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was measured for the GW63 alloys in as-cast and T6 heat treatment conditions. The EIS results indicated that the tendency of impedance variation for as-cast condition was monotonic decreasing, however, the tendency of variation for T6 condition was not completely monotonic but the total tendency was decreasing. The values of impedance of GW63 alloy at 0.1 Hz are about 103 ohm-cm2 for as-cast and T6 condition.

The manufacturing of different Ti-6Al-xV (x = 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) alloys using a mechanical alloying technique was reported. The corrosion behaviors of these newly fabricated alloys after 1, 24, and 48 h exposure to a simulated body fluid (SBF) were assessed using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometric measurements. Surface morphology and elemental analyses after corrosion for 48 h in SBF were reported using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) examinations. An X-ray diffraction investigation characterized the phase analyses. All results indicated that the increase of V content significantly decreases both uniform and pitting corrosion. This effect also increases with prolonging the immersion time to 48 h before measurement.

In this work, the corrosion behaviors of the AZ31B alloy in Ringer’s solution at 20 °C and 37 °C were compared over four days to better understand the influence of temperature and immersion time on corrosion rate. The corrosion products on the surfaces of the AZ31B alloys were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provided information about the protective properties of the corrosion layers. A significant acceleration in corrosion rate with increasing temperature was measured using mass loss and evolved hydrogen methods. This temperature effect was directly related to the changes in chemical composition and thickness of the Al-rich corrosion layer formed on the surface of the AZ31B alloy. At 20 °C, the presence of a thick (micrometer scale) Al-rich corrosion layer on the surface reduced the corrosion rate in Ringer’s solution over time. At 37 °C, the incorporation of additional Mg and Al compounds containing Cl into the Al-rich corrosion layer was observed in the early stages of exposure to Ringer’s solution. At 37 °C, a significant decrease in the thickness of this corrosion layer was noted after four days.

Micro-arc oxidization of AM50 magnesium alloys was studied. The influence of micro-arc oxidization process was investigated; phase structure were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings formed on magnesium alloys under stress conditions. XRD analyses indicate that the ceramic coatings fabricated on the surface of magnesium alloys by micro-arc oxidization are composed of spinel phase MgAl2O4 The corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings is improved compared with magnesium alloy substrate.

Corrosion of carbon steel in nanofluid containing 0.1 gpl of ZrO2nanoparticle at temperature from 25 to 55°C was investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The open circuit potential measurements, cathodic and anodic polarization were used to characterize the corrosion behavior of carbon steel. Metallurgical techniques such as optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the alloys before and after corrosion testing. The microstructures of the as received carbon steel exhibited equaxed morphology. While corrosion specimens showed that microstructure of carbon steel alloys relatively unchanged after polarization testing. X ray diffraction examination of carbon steel before polarization represent γ phase and after polarization is still γ phase with minor Fe2O3. The open circuit potentials of carbon steel increase to positive displacement with increasing temperature nanofluids. The results of polarization technique show that corrosion currents increase and therefore corrosion rates become faster with the increase of nanofluids temperature.

The microstructures and electrochemical corrosion behaviors of die-cast Mg-4Al-0.4Mn-xPr (x=0, 1, 4 wt.%) alloys have been investigated. Electrochemical behaviors of all alloys are described by open circuit potential test, potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscope in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The results show that the α-Mg grain is refined and the continuous net β phase appears gradually with increasing the content of Pr in the Mg-4Al-0.4Mn alloys. Moreover, the β phase plays a role of galvanic cathode in AM40 alloy and corrosion barrier in Pr-containing alloys, respectively. Electrochemical measurements show that Pr can improve corrosion resistance of Mg-4Al-0.4Mn alloy in the 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, and corrosion rate decreases with increasing Pr content.

The microbial corrosion behaviors of 10CrNiCu steel influenced by Thiobcillus ferrooxidans (T.f) were studied by microbiological, electrochemical and surface analysis method. The open circuit potential (Eocp) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the 10CrNiCu electrodes were measured in immersion electrode way with and without T.f solution at the time of the 0, 2nd, 7th, 14thand 21stdays, respectively. Eocpof the electrode immersed in sterile medium shifted to negative potential with the immersion time while that for immersion in T.f solutions shifted negatively, then positively and finally negatively. EIS results were interpreted with different equivalent circuits of the electrode/biofilm/solution interface. The result of SEM indicated that, after 21 immersion days, there were different sizes of pits on the 10CrNiCu surface occurred in T.f solution while no evidence of the pitting corrosion was observed on the steel surface immersed in the sterile medium.
