    Impact 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 Ltd

    Influence of Calcium Acetate Concentration in Electrolyte on Tribocorrosion Behaviour of Mao Treated Titanium
    (MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021) Sousa, Luis; Mendes, Ana Rita; Pinto, Ana Maria Pires; Toptan, Fatih; Alves, Alexandra Cruz
    Ti-based materials are widely used for dental and orthopaedic implant applications due to their adequate mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and biocompatibility. However, these materials are biologically inert and display poor wear resistance. In one of the most studied processes that aims to overcome these drawbacks, Ti surfaces are often covered by anodic oxide films with the incorporation of bioactive agents such as Ca and P. Although there are several works on the tribocorrosion behaviour of MAO-treated Ti surfaces, the influence of electrolyte composition on the corrosion kinetics under sliding is yet to be fully understood. In the present work, anodic oxide films were produced on cp-Ti surfaces with different calcium acetate concentrations in the electrolyte. Tribocorrosion behaviour was investigated by reciprocating sliding tests performed in 8 g/L NaCl solution at body temperature, under potentiostatic conditions. The results showed that higher concentrations of calcium acetate had a detrimental effect on tribocorrosion kinetics, however, they resulted in less mechanical damage due to alterations in the topography and structure of the MAO layer.

    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.
