Effects of surface nanocrystallization on corrosion resistance of β-type titanium alloy

表面纳米化对β型钛合金耐腐蚀性能的影响(英文)

Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) was performed on biomedicalβ-type TiNbZrFe alloy for 60 min at room temperature to study the effect of surface nanocrystallization on the corrosion resistance of TiNbZrFe alloy in physiological environment. The surface nanostructure was characterized by TEM, and the electrochemical behaviors of the samples with nanocrystalline layer and coarse grain were comparatively investigated in 0.9% NaCl and 0.2% NaF solutions, respectively. The results indicate that nanocrystallines with the size of 10-30 nm are formed within the surface layer of 30 μm in depth. The nanocrystallized surface behaves higher impedance, more positive corrosion potential and lower corrosion current density in 0.9%NaCl and 0.2%NaF solutions as compared with the coarse grain surface. The improvement of the corrosion resistance is attributed to the rapid formation of stable and dense passive film on the nanocrystallized surface of TiNbZrFe alloy.

采用表面机械研磨处理(SMAT)方法对医用β型TiNbZrFe合金表面处理60 min,研究表面纳米化对TiNbZrFe合金在生理环境下耐腐蚀性能的影响。采用TEM观察表层纳米晶微观结构特征,采用电化学方法研究表面为粗晶与纳米晶的TiNbZrFe合金在0.9%NaCl和0.2%NaF溶液环境下的电化学行为。结果表明:TiNbZrFe合金表面形成深度约30μm的纳米晶层,纳米晶尺寸为10~30 nm。在0.9%NaCl和0.2%NaF腐蚀环境下,与粗晶表面相比,表面为纳米晶的合金表现出较高的电阻、较正的自腐蚀电位以及较低的自腐蚀电流密度。合金耐腐蚀性能的提高主要归因于在纳米化的TiNbZrFe合金表面能够快速形成致密且稳定的钝化膜。
