    Corrosion 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, Fatih
    In 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. All rights reserved.

    Degradation 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, Fatih
    Ti 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.
