Interaction of Ti–6 wt.% Si alloy with tissue fluid: experimental modeling
The methods of potentiodynamic polarization curves and quantitative Auger electron spectroscopy are used to determine the mechanism whereby a dense protective nanofilm (up to 20 nm thick) forms. The film consists of Ti 2 O, TiO, and Ti 2 O 3 lower titanium oxides and forms under the layer of TiO 2 (...
