Abstract

Long‐term monitoring (for 8000 exposure hours) of titanium and its implant alloys (Ti‐5Al‐4V, Ti‐6Al‐4Fe) interactions with Ringer's solutions of different pH‐values (2.5, 4.35, 6.98), simulating various conditions that can appear at the contact between implant and tissues was carried out in this paper. All data were statistics treated using Medcalc program. In vitro electrochemical behaviour of titanium and its alloys reveals their self‐passivation in Ringer's solutions. Monitoring of the open circuit potentials with time and pH have shown that the passive films on the implant materials studied were very stable for all tested periods. Interactions due to the non‐uniformity of the physiological electrolyte pH can not produce any form of local corrosion. The tested materials present low corrosion rates which attest their very good stability for 8000 exposure hours in simulated biological environment. Surface topography characterisation using atomic force microscopy (AFM) data, correlated with the electrochemical parameters, were arguments for the stability of the samples in studied bioliquids.

## Abstract Hydroxyapatite coatings have been proven to improve the osteointegration of metal implants through a tight binding to the bone mineral phase as well as through favorable osteoblast adhesion and proliferation onto the implant surface. However, hydroxyapatite coatings are not stable and t
