Research Abstract |
Corrosion behavior, surface film analysis, hydrogen absorption behavior, estimation of the state of absorbed hydrogen, change of the mechanical properties, and co-reaction of these phenomena which were the results of the reaction with the alloys like alfa, alfa+beta, beta, Ni-Ti alloys and simulated oral cavity environment were investigated.. 1) Mechano-chemical reactions : Mechano-chemical reactions in the oral cavity was investigated by means of fretting corrosion fatigue tests. Corrosion environments were controlled by applied potential. At anodic potential region where passive film forms easily, the fatigue life tends to shortened. This is considered as the result of the acceleration of the dissolution of the alloy by the film brake down. 2) Analysis of the environmental effects : Fluorides which were often used in the oral cavity acted as the corrosion accelerating agent. Corrosion behavior, hydrogen absorption behavior under the various concentration of NaF and APF solutions were s

tudied. Applying less noble potential in NaF solution to alfa Ti resulted in increment of the absorbed hydrogen, while this phenomenon was not observed to 6-4-Ti alloy. In acidic APF solution, this alloy absorbed plenty of hydrogen under the less noble potential region. Hydrogen peroxide develops localized corrosion of Ti alloys because of its strong oxidizing capability. This event was noticeable in Ni-Ti alloy. Preferential dissolution of Ni may lead to localized corrosion. 3) Polarization behavior : Corrosion resistance of the alloys in 0.2〜2% APF solution depends on the concentration of the solution, and higher the concentration higher the corrosiveness. Both anodic and cathodic reactions were enhanced with the concentration. Surface film properties were also depended on the concentration. Furthermore, most absorbed hydrogen locates in the vicinity of the surface. They are relocate as the time passage and the mechanical properties also changed with the time. Hydrogen embrittlement behavior of Ti alloys was also unveiling. Less
