“…With increasing porosity and decreasing macro-pore size, the corrosion current density increased, which was in agreement with the findings of Seah et al (1995Seah et al ( , 1998. However, in the present investigation, the corrosion potentials of solid and porous titanium samples with different porosities and pore sizes were almost the same, which did not agree with the results from Seah et al (1995Seah et al ( , 1998. In the work by Seah et al, the passivation potential dropped from 542 to 2 81.1 mV as the porosity was increased from 30 per cent with the large open interconnected pores, to 10 per cent with small isolated pores.…”
