## Abstract Corrosion of implant alloys releasing metal ions has the potential to cause adverse tissue reactions and implant failure. We hypothesized that macrophage cells and their released reactive chemical species (RCS) affect the alloy's corrosion properties. A custom cell culture corrosion box
The alloy Ti-6Al4V was cycled with reversed torsional strains. The torsional strain amplitudes were all below the yield strain (pseudoelastic fatigue); therefore, plastic deformation is small and the conventional techniques for studying fatigue in plastic metals are ineffective. However, it was obse
