Abstract
Our research group has been working on the surface functionalization of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by using thermal oxidation followed by CaP and Bi-CaP biomimetic depositions. In this short communication, we present new insights into the corrosion behaviour of the treated system by using potentiodynamic polarization tests. Our results demonstrated lower values of electric current density for the CaP specimens when compared to the Bi-CaP, indicating a tendency for the CaP samples to remake the passive film. Another reasonable explanation may be related to the displacement of CaP particles or the formation of corrosion products that partially block the pores of the coating. Morphological analyzes of all treated surfaces after the potentiodynamic polarization tests also suggest the improvement of the corrosion resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
期刊介绍:
Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry is a quarterly scientific journal published by the Institute of Chemistry of the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Original contributions (in English) are welcome, which focus on all areas of Chemistry and their interfaces with Pharmacy, Biology, and Physics. Neither authors nor readers have to pay fees. The journal has an editorial team of scientists drawn from regions throughout Brazil and world, ensuring high standards for the texts published. The following categories are available for contributions: 1. Full papers 2. Reviews 3. Papers on Education 4. History of Chemistry 5. Short communications 6. Technical notes 7. Letters to the Editor The Orbital journal also publishes a number of special issues in addition to the regular ones. The central objectives of Orbital are threefold: (i) to provide the general scientific community (at regional, Brazilian, and worldwide levels) with a formal channel for the communication and dissemination of the Chemistry-related literature output by publishing original papers based on solid research and by reporting contributions which further knowledge in the field; (ii) to provide the community with open, free access to the full content of the journal, and (iii) to constitute a valuable channel for the dissemination of Chemistry-related investigations.
