A comparative study of the in vitro corrosion behavior and cytotoxicity of a superferritic stainless steel, a Ti‐13Nb‐13Zr alloy, and an austenitic stainless steel in Hank's solution

Abstract: In this study, the in vitro corrosion resistance of a superferritic stainless steel in naturally aerated Hank's solution at 37 degrees C has been determined to evaluate the steel for use as a biomaterial. The potentiodynamic polarization method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to determine the corrosion resistance. The polarization results showed very low current densities at the corrosion potential and electrochemical behavior typical of passive metals. At potentials above 0.75 V (SC… Show more

“…A passive oxide layer of an alloy typically shows one time constant in the impedance spectrum. [3] If there are two time constants, the first one stands for the mentioned passive oxide film and the second time constant signifies a porous outer layer [3,[29][30][31][32] or a deposited film. [22] Different adsorbing layers also have different time constants.…”

“…The growth of an oxide layer via plasma electrolytic oxidation, local breakdown with a small spark, and the subsequent oxygen gas evolution resulted in the formation of this complicated structure [42,43]. The EIS is a very useful method for the determination of the corrosion resistance of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy [30,[44][45][46][47][48]. Though Nyquist plots are relatively featureless, the Bode plots are more indicative for the changes in the electrochemical characteristics of the system during aging.…”

“…Therefore, when it is used in joint prostheses, the build-up of debris is inevitable, which leads to an inflammatory response [16,17]. In order to preserve the beneficial properties of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy and alleviate the harmful effects caused by vanadium and aluminium, these components can be substituted with other α-and β-stabilising elements, such as niobium, tantalum and zirconium, which are biocompatible [11,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
