Abstract
One of the key aspects of the biochemical compatibility of medical alloys is the surface corrosion resistance in living organisms. This study discusses the structure of the ceramic-metal surface layer of a porous nickel-titanium alloy (nitinol) and the corrosion resistance in simulated physiological liquids. The structure of the protective layer and glass-ceramic non-metallic inclusions in the surface of the porous alloy have been studied. The formation of the surface ceramic-metal layer and crystallization of various glass-metal-ceramic phases as a result of chemisorption from reaction gases and epitaxial growth from the gas phase during the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis are observed.
