Electrochemical behavior of pure Ti and Ti-Mo alloys (6-20 wt.% Mo) was investigated as a function of immersion time in electrolyte simulating physiological media. Open-circuit potential values indicated that all Ti-Mo alloys studied and pure Ti undergo spontaneous passivation due to spontaneously f

Titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V, is widely used in dental and orthopedic implants. Despite its excellent biocompatibility, Ti6Al4V releases toxic Al and V ions into the surrounding tissue after implantation. In addition, the elastic modulus of Ti6Al4V ($110 GPa) is significantly higher than that of bone (10
## Abstract There is much discussion about the toxic effect of vanadium and aluminum contained in Ti6Al4V alloy for prosthetic implants. The goal of the present investigation was to develop new titanium alloys with sufficient mechanical properties using more biocompatible alloying elements: zirco
## Abstract The resistance to localized corrosion of three austenitic stainless steels (SS), specifically the ASTM F‐138 which is widely used in several biomedical applications, the DIN 1.4460 high N, and the DIN 1.4970 was investigated in this study by electrochemical techniques including potentio
