Role of Vanadium Additions on the Corrosion Mitigation of Ti-6Al-xV Alloy in Simulated Body Fluid

The manufacturing of different Ti-6Al-xV (x = 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) alloys using a mechanical alloying technique was reported. The corrosion behaviors of these newly fabricated alloys after 1, 24, and 48 h exposure to a simulated body fluid (SBF) were assessed using cyclic potentiodynamic polarizatio...

description The manufacturing of different Ti-6Al-xV (x = 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) alloys using a mechanical alloying technique was reported. The corrosion behaviors of these newly fabricated alloys after 1, 24, and 48 h exposure to a simulated body fluid (SBF) were assessed using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometric measurements. Surface morphology and elemental analyses after corrosion for 48 h in SBF were reported using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) examinations. An X-ray diffraction investigation characterized the phase analyses. All results indicated that the increase of V content significantly decreases both uniform and pitting corrosion. This effect also increases with prolonging the immersion time to 48 h before measurement.
