Biological corrosion behaviour and antibacterial properties of Ti-Cu alloy with different Ti2Cu morphologies for dental applications

The influence of morphology of the Ti2Cu phase on biological corrosion and antibacterial properties of Ti-Cu alloy was investigated by micro-galvanic corrosion. Elongated “micro-galvanic cells” were formed between lamellar Ti2Cu phase (L-Ti2Cu) and α-Ti matrix due to the different Volta potentials....
