Overview

Experimental evaluation demonstrates corrosion resistance and phase-dependent hardness in Ti-20Zr alloy, suggesting suitability for human implants.

Key Points

  • Excellent corrosion resistance develops on the Ti-20Zr alloy in simulated body fluid, and a stable oxide layer protects the material from degradation.
  • Hardness measurements show the alpha phase is 30% softer than the beta phase, revealing distinct mechanical properties across the lamellar microstructure.
  • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and electron microscopy reveal a porous oxide film, highlighting favorable conditions for osteoinductive growth.
