A study of the potentials achieved during mechanical abrasion and the repassivation rate of titanium and Ti6Al4V in inorganic buffer solutions and bovine serum

Titanium alloys in orthopaedic implants are susceptible to mechanical disruption of the passive film (fretting corrosion). To study this effect, open-circuit potential (ocp) measurements before, during and after mechanical disruption of the passive film in a tribo-electrochemical cell on commercial...
