Electrochemical and immersion corrosion behaviour of TNZT-xSi-yMn/Fe/Zn composites for biomedical applications
The present study investigates the effects of low-cost alloying elements (Si, Mn, Fe, and Zn) on the corrosion behaviour, ion release, and surface characteristics of β-type Ti-35Nb-7Zr-4Ta (TNZT) composites for biomedical implant applications. TNZT-xSi-y (Mn/Fe/Zn) composites, where x = 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 wt.% and y...
