Review Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Advancing Titanium-Based Surfaces Via Micro-Arc Oxidation With Solid Substance Incorporation: a Systematic Review(Elsevier, 2024) Ogur, Ezgi; Alves, Alexandra C.; Toptan, FatihDespite possessing numerous superior properties, titanium, and its alloys exhibit inadequacies in terms of tribocorrosion, bioactivity, and antimicrobial characteristics. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in research focusing on micro-arc oxidation (MAO) surface treatments to enhance these properties. In the traditional MAO approach, researchers commonly investigate the introduction of additional functionalities to the surface through ion doping. However, over the past decade, studies have indicated that the inclusion of solid substances, either as substitutes for or in conjunction with ion doping, can provide further advantages in terms of multifunctionality. Therefore, this review comprehensively and systematically examines the characteristics of solid substances used during MAO, their incorporation mechanisms, and their influence on resulting biological and degradation behaviors, as well as properties such as photocatalytic activity, magnetic features, hightemperature oxidation resistance, electrical insulation, and thermal shock resistance. This review showed that the integration of solid substances during MAO represents a promising avenue for achieving multifunctional surface enhancements in titanium and its alloys. This review highlights the diverse range of properties and behaviors influenced by these solid substances, offering insights for future research and applications in the field of surface engineering and biomaterials science.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Impact of Simulated Inflammation and Food Breakdown on the Synergistic Interaction Between Corrosion and Wear on Titanium(Elsevier, 2024) Lima, A.R.; Pinto, A.M.P.; Toptan, F.; Alves, A.C.This paper investigates the impact of lactic acid and phosphoric acid additives in artificial saliva (AS), simulating inflammation and food breakdown, on the electrochemical and tribo-electrochemical behavior of titanium. The results showed that, unlike lactic acid, phosphoric acid significantly reduced corrosion resistance, mainly due to local damage and heterogeneities on the passive film. Non-additivated AS caused greater wear volume loss, with mechanical wear identified as the main mechanism. However, when additives were present, a synergistic interplay between corrosion and wear was observed. The study concludes that prolonged exposure to food breakdown could accelerate material degradation in titanium. © 2024 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 20Influence of Al2o3 Reinforcements and Ti-Al Intermetallics on Corrosion and Tribocorrosion Behavior of Titanium(Elsevier, 2023) Sousa, Luis; Antunes, Rui D. M.; Fernandes, Joao C. S.; Alves, Alexandra Cruz; Toptan, FatihTi-Al2O3 composites have demonstrated favorable characteristics for use in load-bearing biomedical implant applications; however, the influence of Al2O3 reinforcement particles and Ti-Al intermetallics on the electrochemical and tribo-electrochemical responses of Ti are not well-understood. This study explored the corrosion and tribocorrosion characteristics of powder metallurgy-manufactured Ti-Al2O3 composites in a simple physiological saline solution at body temperature. Electrochemical analysis was performed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization and tribo-electrochemical mechanisms were explored under open circuit potential (OCP) against a 10 mm diameter alumina ball in a ball-on-plate tribometer with reciprocating configuration. Results revealed that the corrosion behavior of Ti was adversely affected by the development of a heterogeneous oxide film on the Ti matrix and the Ti-Al intermetallic phases formed by the interaction of Ti and Al2O3 particles. However, there was a drastic improvement in tribocorrosion behavior, evidenced by decreased corrosion tendency under sliding and a marked reduction in wear volume, primarily as a result of the decreased wear damage resulting from the load-bearing reinforcements.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Crystallization and Additional Oxide Interlayers Improve the Tribocorrosion Resistance of Tio2 Nanotubular Surfaces Formed on Ti6al4v(Elsevier, 2023) Çaha, İhsan; Türü, İrem Cemre; Erdoğan, Ece; Pinto, Ana Maria Pires; Cansever, Nurhan; Deepak, Francis Leonard; Toptan, Fatih; Alves, Alexandra C.TiO2-based nanotubular surfaces have promising properties for various industrial applications, such as solar cells, fuel cells, photocatalysis, energy storage, gas sensors, and biomedical applications. However, they have very limited use in real applications, and one of the major limiting factors is the weak adhesion of nanotubular surfaces to the substrate. In this study, nanotubular surfaces are formed on Ti6Al4V alloy by anodic treatment followed by a heat treatment at 500 °C for 3 h under an open atmosphere. Microstructural investigations revealed self-organized nanotubes grown on both ? and ? phases. High-resolution TEM/STEM analysis showed crystallization of the nanotubular layer and formation of additional oxide interlayers resulting in a drastic improvement in tribocorrosion resistance. These findings indicated that a simple heat treatment can significantly alter the properties of nanotubular layers and can widen their usage mainly for load-bearing implant applications in corrosive environments. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Atomic–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, FatihThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Effect of the Combination of Organic Acid Solutions on Tinplate Corrosion(Elsevier, 2022) Yıldırım, Koray; Kızılkaya, Ali CanTinplate corrosion as a result of canned food is typically tested in industry by tinplate in synthetic media based on single organic acids. However, the combination of organic acids, which is present in applied conditions, is not previously investigated in terms of its effect on tinplate corrosion mechanism. In this manuscript, we combine structural characterization of tinplate surfaces with electrochemical measurements, to investigate the corrosion mechanism of tinplate under acetic acid-NaCl, citric acid-NaCl, and a combined acetic acid, citric acid and NaCl media. The results show that the combined acid media causes does not result in a pronounced formation of a protective passivation layer, in contrast to the single acid based media. Our findings demonstrate the combined effects of the organic acids in corrosive media has to be taken into account for tinplate corrosion, as they can alter the corrosion mechanism. Furthermore, we show that combination of organic acids can accelerate tinplate corrosion testing in packaging industry. Thus, our findings can contribute to the design of new aging media for tinplate corrosion testing.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Preliminary Tribo-Electrochemical and Biological Responses of the Ti-Tib In-Situ Composites Intended for Load-Bearing Biomedical Implants(Elsevier, 2022) Sousa, Lia; Toptan, Fatih; Alves, Alexandra C.; Costa, N. A.; Gemini Piperni, Sara; Rossi, Andre Linhares; Ribeiro, Ana R.; Simöes, Sönia; Toptan, FatihPoor tribocorrosion resistance of Ti and its alloys remains as a concern for load-bearing biomedical implants. Despite being an effective method to improve tribocorrosion resistance, titanium matrix composites (TMCs) have yet to be used in this type of applications. In-situ TiB (titanium boride) and TiC (titanium carbide) reinforcement phases have been considered as one of the best options to produce TMCs once these phases present high compatibility and strong interfacial bonding with Ti. Although the effect of these phases on the mechanical properties of Ti has been thoroughly researched in the last years, their effect on corrosion, tribocorrosion and biocompatibility of Ti is yet to be fully understood. In this work, in-situ Ti-TiB-TiCx composites obtained by reactive hot pressing showed identical corrosion response compared to the unreinforced Ti but displayed improved tribocorrosion behaviour. Under 0.5 N load, composites presented as average a reduction of 51% in wear volume loss and under 10 N the reduction was up to 93%. Early biological tests showed promising results, as composites were biocompatible and induced osteoblasts spreading and possibly proliferation most probably due to composite chemistry and surface hardness.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 36Corrosion and Tribocorrosion Behaviour of Ti-B4c Composites Processed by Conventional Sintering and Hot-Pressing Technique(Elsevier, 2021) Sousa, L.; Alves, A. C.; Guedes, A.; Toptan, FatihIn this work, low volume reinforcement ex-situ Ti-B4C composites were produced using two different routes: conventional powder metallurgy (PM) and hot-pressing (HP). The effect of reinforcement phases and processing method on corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviour were studied. Composites processed by PM lost the typical passive behaviour of Ti matrix, while composites processed by HP presented similar behaviour to unreinforced Ti. Tribocorrosion tests showed that both composite groups presented two times decrease in corrosion kinetics under sliding compared to pure titanium. An antagonistic effect between wear and corrosion was observed for composites with at least two times decrease in wear volume compared to titanium. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.

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.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Degradation Behaviour of Ti-12nb Alloy Coated With Zno/Tin Double Layer(Elsevier, 2021) Çaha, İhsan; Alves, A. C.; Affonco, L. J.; da Silva, J. H. D.; Rodrigues, I. R.; Grandini, C. R.; Rocha, L. A.; Pinto, Ana Maria Pires; Lisboa Filho, P. N.; Toptan, FatihTi and its alloys have attracted attention for biomedical applications, but their low tribocorrosion resistance, lack of bioactivity and antimicrobial properties are still major clinical concerns. In this study a ZnO coating, intended to act as an antibacterial agent, was deposited on a Ti-12Nb alloy, which was previously coated with a TiN hard coating, for improving tribocormsion resistance. The idea behind is the proof-of -concept that ZnO is able to provide interesting tribological properties to the surface, thus inspiring new ZnO-containing surfaces that can combine antimicrobial properties and tribocormsion resistance. Thus, the corrosion behaviour was studied by open circuit potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiodynamic polarization tests in phosphate buffered solution at body temperature. The tribocormsion behaviour was carried out at open circuit potential under 0.5 N of normal load, 1 Hz frequency, during 3600 s sliding in phosphate buffered solution at body temperature. The results indicated that duplex coating sample showed better corrosion resistance and drastically better tribocorrosion resistance compared to uncoated and single TiN coating samples.
