Corrosion Resistance of the Home-made Titanium Sheet

Biofouling of Titanium – Biomineralization and Corrosion Aspects

Manganese oxidizing bacteria colonizing the titanium surfaces exposed to seawater were characterized by periodically retrieving the coupons over a period of two years. About 20% of the initial colonizers were capable of oxidizing manganese, and the dominant manganese oxidizing bacteria were those belonging to Gram negative Pseudomonas spp. Gram positive, Bacillus spp, were also observed, though...

Corrosion of cemented titanium femoral stems.

Cemented titanium stems in hip arthroplasty are associated with proximal cement-stem ebonding and early failure. This was well publicised with the 3M Capital hip. However, corrosion in this setting has been reported with only one stem design and is less widely accepted. We present a series of 12 cemented titanium Furlong Straight Stems which required revision at a mean of 78 months for thigh pa...

Corrosion in titanium dental implants: literature review

The corrosion of dental biomaterials is a pertinent clinical issue. In spite of the recent innovative metallurgical and technological advances and remarkable progress in the design and development of surgical and dental materials, failures do occur. The present article describes the problem of corrosion in titanium dental implants. The clinical significance of the dental implant corrosion is hi...

Corrosion behaviour of titanium in the presence of Streptococcus mutans.

OBJECTIVE The main aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of Streptococcus mutans on the corrosion of titanium. METHODS S. mutans biofilms were formed on commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) square samples (10mm×10mm×1mm) using a culture medium enriched with sucrose. Open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were used to evaluat...
