Corrosion behaviour and biocompatibility of a new dental noble AuPdAgTi alloy / D. Raducanu in Materials and corrosion, Vol. 61 N° 9 (Septembre 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Materials and corrosion > Vol. 61 N° 9 (Septembre 2010) . - pp. 775–782 Titre : Corrosion behaviour and biocompatibility of a new dental noble AuPdAgTi alloy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : D. Raducanu, Auteur ; A. Cimpean, Auteur ; E. Vasilescu, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 775–782 Note générale : Génie mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Au-20Pd-10Ag-5Ti  alloy;  cell  adhesion;  corrosion  parameters;  morphology  and  proliferation Résumé : The aims of the study were to investigate the electrochemical response of a new dental Au-20Pd-10Ag-5Ti alloy in artificial Carter-Brugirard saliva and to assess its biocompatibility using gingival fibroblast culture. Electrochemical techniques of potentiodynamic and linear polarization were used. Also, the open circuit potentials and the corresponding open circuit potential gradients were monitored for 5000 exposure hours. The gingival fibroblast response to Au-20Pd-10Ag-5Ti alloy was estimated by LDH-cytotoxicity, MTT cell proliferation assays, the assessment of substrate-dependent changes in extracellular fibronectin network, cell morphology and actin cytoskeleton organization. The cyclic potentiodynamic curves of Au-20Pd-10Ag-5Ti alloy exhibited a passive behaviour with transpassive dissolution of silver, without pitting corrosion. Open circuit potentials were finally stable at noble values. Open circuit potential gradients have low values that could not generate galvanic or local corrosion. The new Au-20Pd-10Ag-5Ti alloy did not promote cell damage and alterations in cell adhesion and morphological features, exhibiting a good biocompatibility.

Corrosion behaviour in physiological fluids of surface films formed on titanium alloys / J. C. Mirza Rosca in Materials and corrosion, Vol. 63 N° 6 (Juin 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Materials and corrosion > Vol. 63 N° 6 (Juin 2012) . - pp. 527–533 Titre : Corrosion behaviour in physiological fluids of surface films formed on titanium alloys Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J. C. Mirza Rosca, Auteur ; E. Vasilescu, Auteur ; P. Drob, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 527–533 Note générale : Génie mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Chemical  and  heat  treatments;  EIS;  microhardness;  open  circuit  potentials Résumé : The properties of the surface films formed on Ti and its Ti–5Al–4V and Ti–6Al–3.5Fe alloys by chemical (immersion in 10 M NaOH) and thermal treatment (500 °C) were studied in this paper. Their corrosion behaviour in Ringer solution was investigated. After treatments, the sample microhardness was measured. Also, the sample surfaces were observed by an optical microscope before and after immersion in Ringer solutions. The electrochemical behaviour of the surface films obtained by the chemical and thermal treatments was studied using the methods of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and monitoring of open circuit potentials at different immersion periods (up to 60 days) in Ringer solution. Microhardness increased with the increasing loads for the studied materials, showing the existence of a compact protective layer. Microscopic observations exhibited more compact coatings after 60 days of exposure in Ringer solution, due to the formation of an apatite layer. EIS spectra revealed surface films with two layers: an inner, barrier protective layer and an outer, porous apatite layer. The impedance increases in time denoting that the films have grown by apatite nucleation. Also, EIS spectra showed that the complex treatment by chemical + heat method is the most efficiently. For the samples treated by the two processes (chemical + heat) the values of the open circuit potentials are nobler than of the chemical treated samples, denoting better protective, bioactive films.

Corrosion resistance of the new Ti-25Ta-25Nb alloy in severe functional conditions / E. Vasilescu in Materials and corrosion, Vol. 61 N° 11 (Novembre 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Materials and corrosion > Vol. 61 N° 11 (Novembre 2010) . - pp. 947–954 Titre : Corrosion resistance of the new Ti-25Ta-25Nb alloy in severe functional conditions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : E. Vasilescu, Auteur ; P. Drob, Auteur ; C. Vasilescu, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 947–954 Note générale : Génie mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Corrosion  tests;  EIS;  microstructure;  SEM;  titanium  alloy Résumé : In this study, a new Ti-25Ta-25Nb (mass%) β alloy was synthesised by cold crucible semi-levitation melting. After melting, each ingot was solution treated in the β-phase domain and water quenched in order to obtain a fully recrystallised homogeneous β-phase microstructure. To evaluate the bio-corrosion property of this new alloy, corrosion tests (cyclic potentiodynamic and linear polarisation, EIS) and surface analysis (SEM) were carried out in Ringer solution at different pH values (acid, neutral and basic). The results indicated that the corrosion resistance of the Ti-25Ta-25Nb alloy is quite higher than that of the commercially pure CP Ti alloy. These results show that this new alloy possesses all the characteristics necessary for its long-term use as medical implants.
