Abstract
The presented work was aimed to describe the effect of porosity on the corrosion behaviour of Ti–39Nb alloy produced by the powder metallurgy technology, which represents a prospective material for medical applications. Corrosion properties of specimens with a porosity ranging from 0% to 33% were studied in simulated body environments, using electrochemical techniques and exposure tests. The results of measurements proved the occurrence of a localized form of corrosion in the material with a porosity of 24% and 33%. Distinct localization of the corrosion process was recorded in an environment containing fluoride ions.
