Surface Characterization of NiTi Superelastic and Shape Memory Alloys After Electrolytic Polishing

For the biomedical application of NiTi alloys, an excellent surface finishing process is required to guarantee high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, eliminating the allergenic and toxic effects associated with the release of nickel ions in the body. Electropolishing is a process that can r...
