Surface Characterization of NiTi Superelastic and Shape Memory Alloys After Electrolytic Polishing

Abstract: For the biomedical application of NiTi alloys, an excellent surface finishing process is required to guarantee high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, eliminating the allergenic and toxic effects associated with the release of nickel ions in the body. Electropolishing is a process that can reduce surface imperfections and form a thin protective layer of TiO 2 , even in complex-shaped devices. The main objective of our study was to find and report suitable parameters for electrolytic polishing of NiTi w… Show more

“…Moreover, surface defects and localized corrosion points act as stress concentrators, which can initiate cracking and cause premature failure of biodevices [10][11][12] . The electrochemical techniques of surface modification, such as polishing and deposition, stand out because they significantly improve the properties of Ni-Ti alloys, and present low cost and high reproducibility 9,10 . Figure 3 illustrates the surface morphologies of the Ni-Ti wire in the as-received state and after electropolishing.…”

“…Ti is noble than (Ni) so that, the oxide is accepted to be completely of (TiO2). On the other hand, at shorter wave length (532nm) will decreases the current density at same conditions this means that more heat will transfer to the substrate which in turn enhance the building rate of the protective oxide layer [22].…”

“…O polimento eletrolítico foi realizado utilizando uma célula eletroquímica padrão, com um contraeletrodo de platina e um eletrodo de referência Ag|AgCl, ligados a um potenciostato (VersaSTAT 3, Princeton Applied Research, Berwyn, EUA). O eletrólito utilizado é constituído por uma solução 21% de ácido sulfúrico (H 2 SO 4 ) em metanol (CH 3 OH), que apresentou bons resultados no polimento de ligas NiTi em estudo anterior [9,10]. O potencial aplicado de 7 V, durante o tempo de 240 segundos.…”
