## 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 Different electrochemical studies were carried out for Zr and its biocompatible alloys Ti‐50Zr at.% and Zr‐2.5Nb wt.% in solutions simulating physiologic media, Ringer and PBS (phosphate buffered saline) solutions. The results from rest‐potential measurements showed that the three mater
## Abstract Electrochemical polarization and impedance spectroscopic (EIS) techniques were used to investigate the corrosion behavior of Ti‐5Al‐2Nb‐1Ta alloy in Hanks solution at different immersion periods (0 h, 120 h, 240 h and 360 h). The impedance spectra are fitted using a non‐linear least squ
