Investigation of passive films grown on biocompatible Ti‐50Zr and Ti‐13Zr‐13Nb alloys by XPS

Abstract: In this work, XPS investigations on the composition of anodic films electrochemically grown on heat-treated Ti-50Zr (at.%) and Ti-13Zr-13Nb (wt.%) alloys in 0.15 mol dm −3 Na 2 SO 4 at room temperature are reported. The XPS analyses on anodic films of different thicknesses revealed for both alloys a gradual enrichment of the oxide film in Ti as the film thickness was increased. For the thickest oxide films, this Ti enrichment in the oxide was about 8% for the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy and about 9% for the Ti-50Zr all… Show more

“…Yu et al have reported an increase in thickness of the oxide film with the potential, which play an important role in the improvement of the corrosion resistance [31]. Uniform surface corrosion of Ti-Nb or Ti-Nb-Zr alloys provides a passive film that is mainly formed by TiO 2 , Nb 2 O 5 , or ZrO 2 [14,15,32]. Compared to the film spontaneously formed in air, the polarization leads to a complete transformation from TiO or Ti 2 O 3 to TiO 2 (more stable) over 1.2 V (vs. SCE), which is helpful for improvement of corrosion resistance [33].…”

“…The Ti enrichment in the surface oxidation layers has been found for Ti-13Nb-13Zr and Ti-50Zr alloys. 50 Recently, this result was also found for co-deposited Ti-Nb alloy lms. 33 In this co-deposition process, pure Ti and pure Nb targets are operated at constant conditions, respectively.…”

“…Investigations on electropolishing [30], preparation of the nanotubular oxide layers [31][32][33], and plasma electrolytic oxidation were conducted up to now [34][35][36][37][38]. Preparation of thin oxide layers on the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy was investigated by voltammetry but up to only 8 V [39,40].…”
