Abstract
Metals that are used to reconstruct skeletal structures often interfere with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) owing to differences in magnetic susceptibility; consequently, metals with lower magnetic susceptibilities need to be developed for use in implant devices. Herein, we investigated the corrosion properties of the Zr-14Nb-5Ta-1Mo alloy, which exhibits low magnetic susceptibility and excellent mechanical properties. The pitting potential of Zr-14Nb-5Ta-1Mo was higher than that of pure Zr. The passive current density of Zr-14Nb-5Ta-1Mo also higher than that of pure Zr, which is ascribable to slow reconstruction of the initial passive film associated with the presence of Nb and Ta. XPS revealed that the passive film is enriched with Nb and Ta. Therefore, while the Zr-14Nb-5Ta-1Mo alloy exhibited a high initial passive current density in simulated body fluid, it formed a stable passive film that suppressed localized corrosion. Zr-14Nb-5Ta-1Mo is therefore a prospective implant-material alloy candidate.
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials Journal is a peer review journal published by the Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devises aiming to introduce the progress of the basic and applied sciences in dental materials and biomaterials. The dental materials-related clinical science and instrumental technologies are also within the scope of this journal. The materials dealt include synthetic polymers, ceramics, metals and tissue-derived biomaterials. Forefront dental materials and biomaterials used in developing filed, such as tissue engineering, bioengineering and artificial intelligence, are positively considered for the review as well. Recent acceptance rate of the submitted manuscript in the journal is around 30%.
