Abstract
The research investigates the corrosion and tribological characteristics of the Ti-6Al-4 V alloy, which is extensively used in biomedical applications because of its lightweight construction, resistance to corrosion, and advantageous tribological qualities. Corrosion assessment included evaluating the electrochemical performance of samples in three distinct electrolytes: NaCl, HBSS, and Ringers. Results showed that NaCl exhibited the lowest corrosion rate, measuring at 0.0372104 mmpy.Tribological analysis using an engine reciprocating tribometer demonstrated varying wear rates, with the lowest recorded at 0.05 m/sec (2.047 × 10−17(m3/ Nm), while highest wear rate of 4.786 × 10−17(m3/ Nm) were revealed at sliding velocity of 0.08 m/sec.These findings contribute to understanding the performance of the alloy under different conditions, crucial for optimizing its use in biomedical application.
