Abstract: (30 Views)
This research evaluated the corrosion behavior of commercially pure titanium grade 2 as a widely used
biological material in metal implants. The microstructure of the studied sample was evaluated using
optical microscopy (OM) and phase composition using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Corrosion evaluation
in simulated body solution (SBF) with pH equal to 7.4 0.05 and temperature of 37 °C was studied by
measuring open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with
electrical equivalent circuit modeling and EIS curve fitting. The results of the microstructure
investigation showed co-axial alpha grains with an average size of 25.73 micrometers. Investigation of
the phase composition showed an alpha titanium phase with a crystallinity percentage of 75.05.
According to the EIS results, it was observed that after 1 and 3 days of immersion, only TiO2 passive
film will be present on the surface of the titanium substrate. The presence of passive film in immersion
times of 1 and 3 days led to an equivalent electric circuit model with a time constant for simulating EIS
data. From the immersion time of 7 days onwards, with an apatite layer on the titanium surface, a twolayer
structure, including the passive and apatite layers, was formed and simulated with an equivalent
electric circuit with two-time constants. After seven days, with the increase in immersion time,
corrosion resistance was observed due to a denser and more compact apatite layer.
