BHOLA, Rahul; BHOLA, Shaily M.; MISHRA, Brajendra  and  OLSON, David L.. Electrochemical Evaluation of Wrought Titanium -15 Molybdenum Alloy for Dental Implant Applications in Phosphate Buffer Saline. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2010, vol.28, n.2, pp.135-142. ISSN 0872-1904.

Ti-15Mo alloy has been evaluated for its electrochemical behavior in phosphate buffer saline solution at the physiological temperature of 37 ºC. A two time constant model of a duplex oxide layer has been used to assess the corrosion behavior of the Ti-15Mo alloy-solution interface using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Interfacial characteristics of the inner barrier layer and the outer porous layer have been studied to understand the role of the alloy as an implant. Ti-15Mo alloy shows a very high barrier layer resistance and a tendency to resist localized corrosion.

Keywords : titanium; implant; impedance; b-alloy; phosphate buffer saline.
