Abstract

The paper presents results of influence of modified artificial plasma on corrosion resistance of Ti6Al4V ELI alloy. The samples were subjected to grinding, anodic oxidation and steam sterilization. After 28-day exposure to Ringer’s solution as well as Tas - SBF and R - SBF fluids, studies of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, corrosion resistance and the amount of metal ions released into the solutions were carried out. The obtained results were compared to the results obtained for the samples in the initial state. It was found that the highest reactivity in contact with the Ti6Al4V ELI alloy was observed for the Tas - SBF containing TRIS whereas the lowest reactivity was observed for the Ringer's solution. The obtained results indicate the possible use of the modified physiological solutions, in order to carry out a more rigorous test of corrosion resistance of metal materials.
