    Atomic–scale Investigations of Passive Film Formation on Ti-Nb Alloys
    (Elsevier, 2023) Çaha, İhsan; Alves, Alexandra C.; Chirico, Caterina; Maria Pinto, Ana; Tsipas, Sophia; Gordo, Elena; Bondarchuk, Oleksandr; Leonard Deepak, Francis; Toptan, Fatih
    This study extensively investigates the passive film formation mechanisms on Ti-xNb alloys by using several electrochemical techniques, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) before and after potentiostatic polarization at the passive zone, and Mott-Schottky (MS) measurements in 9 g/l NaCl electrolyte at 37 °C, together with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Overall, the Ti40Nb presented lower corrosion resistance due to a thinner passive film as compared to commercial pure Ti (grade 2) and Ti12Nb. The passive film formed on Ti12Nb and Ti40Nb alloys at a steady-state condition (+0.5 VAg/AgCl for 60 min) is composed of amorphous phases of TiO, Ti2O3, TiO2, Nb2O5 and crystalline phases of TiO2 (anatase) and Nb2O5. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.

    Tribocorrosion-Resistant Ti40nb-Tin Composites Havingtio(2)-Based Nanotubular Surfaces
    (American Chemical Society, 2022) Çaha, İhsan; Alves, Alexandra Cruz; Chirico, Caterina; Pinto, Ana Maria; Tsipas, Sophia; Gordo, Elena; Toptan, Fatih
    A novel multifunctional material was developed byhard TiN particle reinforcement addition to a beta-type Ti40Nb alloy,followed by surface functionalization, yielding the formation of ananotubular layer. Corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviors wereinvestigated in a phosphate-buffered saline solution at bodytemperature. The results revealed that the Ti40Nb-TiNcomposites presented similaripassandE(i=0)values together withrelatively similarRoxandCox. However, its tribocorrosion resistancedrastically improved (wear volume is almost 15 times lower than anunreinforced alloy) as a consequence of the load-carrying effectgiven by the reinforcement phases. The corrosion and tribocorro-sion behaviors were further improved through surface functionaliza-tion as observed by significantly loweripassand higherRoxvalues andalmost undetectable wear volume loss from tribocorrosion tests dueto the formation of a well-adhered anatase-rutile TiO2-based nanotubular layer.

    Improved Tribocorrosion Behavior on Bio-Functionalized Β-Type Titanium Alloy by the Pillar Effect Given by Tin Reinforcements
    (Elsevier, 2021) Çaha, İhsan; Alves, Alexandra C.; Chirico, Caterina; Pinto, Ana Maria; Tsipas, Sophia; Gordo, Elena; Toptan, Fatih
    A novel multi-functional material was developed by hard TiN particle reinforcement addition to a beta-type Ti alloy, following by bio-functionalization of its surface through Ca and P rich oxide layer. Corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of this multi-functional material was investigated in phosphate buffer solution at body temperature. Bio-functionalization drastically improved the corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of the unreinforced and reinforced samples, where the bio-functionalized beta-type titanium alloy matrix composite presented the best tribocorrosion behavior due to the load-carrying role of the hard reinforcement phase that gave a support to the functionalized surface layer.
