[Objective] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the variation of surface morphology of titanium alloy after sand blasting with different particle sizes of Al2O3sand and acid etching, and its corrosion resistance property. [Methods] The surfaces of titanium alloy were first treated with the different sands and then acid etched with mixture of 18% HCl and 48% H2SO4. The morphology of samples was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The potentiodynamic polarization curves of the various surfaces were obtained by electrochemical workstation (CHI 660E) in simulated body fluid (SBF). [Results and conclusions] It is observed that pore sizes on surface increases with the increase of sand grain diameter while there is no obvious change after acid etching. After sand blasting and acid etching, the corrosion resistance of titanium alloy was improved. However, as the pore size of the surface increases, the corrosion resistance gradually degrades and this becomes even more obvious after acid etching. The investigation of the corrosion rate indicates there is an increasing trend with the emergence of small pores.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of sandblasting and acid etching on the surface roughness and morphology of pure titanium and titanium alloy to compare their relative contribution. Both of these samples were first sandblasted and then acid etched using HCL and H2SO4for different duration and temperature. The results of this study indicated that the roughness value for pure titanium increased after acid etching while the opposite occurred for the titanium alloy. It is suggested that the decrease is due to significant over etching of the protective titanium oxide layer on the alloy.

Study the affect of nano-Al2O3 additive on the MAO film of titanium ally, the affect of nano-Al2O3 additive on the surface morphology and the thickness is not remarkable, but the nano-Al2O3 additive is good to improve corrosion resistant of the film. The mechanism of nano-Al2O3 additive improving corrosion resistant of the film is that: on the one hand is improving the content of α- Al2O3 in the film, on the other hand is decreasing the size of the pore area of the film and improving the dense of the loose and compact layer.

The aim of this study was to compare the surface micromorphology and corrosion resistance of diferent temporary anchoragedevices (TADs) composed of titanium alloy (SIN®) and stainless steel (DAT Steel® and Bio Ray®). Ten samples of eachTAD were submitted to qualitative analyses using energy-dispersive and scanning electronic microscopy before and afterimmersion in artifcial saliva (1500 ppm of fuoride) for 30 days. The chemical analysis was done by X-ray fuorescence,and the corrosion tests were performed by electrochemical means (open circuit potential—OCP, potentiostat, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy—EIS, using anodic potentiodynamic polarization curves). Passive flm resistance (PFR)and corrosion current were established. The corrosion rate was determined by the mass loss test. Greater smoothness andfewer machining defects were observed for the stainless steel TAD before artifcial saliva immersion. Comparatively, highercorrosion resistance was found for titanium alloy TAD after immersion in saliva. There was no release of ions into the TADwhen immersed in artifcial saliva. ANOVA and Tukey tests showed that OCP (V) was signifcantly lower for the titaniumalloy TAD (p=0.030) than the stainless steel brands. Epite (V) and Epite−OCP (V) were signifcantly higher for the titaniumalloy TAD (p=0.0009 and p=0.0005, respectively). Stainless steel TADs presented lower roughness surface than titaniumalloy TAD, although the latter presented higher corrosion resistance than the former

Zn–Ni plating is indispensable in various industries because of its high corrosion resistance. However, Ni has been reported to trigger allergies; thus, an alternative Ni-free plating is desired. Zn–Fe plating is considered to be a promising candidate, albeit its corrosion resistance still needs to be improved. The corrosion resistance of Zn–Fe plating is expected to increase by the addition of Mo as the third alloying element as it is more noble than Zn and Fe. In this study, Zn–Fe–Mo plating with a corrosion resistance nearly equivalent to that of the Zn–Ni plating was fabricated. Zn–Fe–Mo plating was electrically deposited from continuously agitated plating baths prepared by mixing ZnSO4, FeSO4, Na2MoO4, Na3C6H5O7, and Na2SO4 using Fe or Ni plates as the substrate. The surface morphology, composition, crystal phase, and electronic state of Mo of the platings were investigated by SEM-EDS, XRD, and XPS. The anti-corrosion performance was evaluated by Tafel extrapolation method. Formation of plating comprising a Mo containing alloy phase was found to be crucial for improving corrosion resistance. The Zn–Fe–Mo plating demonstrates promise for replacing anti-corrosion Zn–Ni platings.
