Journal ArticleDOI

SVET, SKP and EIS study of the corrosion behaviour of high strength Al and Al–Li alloys used in aircraft fabrication

Jeferson Aparecido Moreto, +6 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the corrosion resistance of two novel alloys developed for aircraft industry (AA2198-T851 and 7081-T73511) to that presented by the alternative base alloys (AA2524-T3 and 7050-T 7451, respectively).
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of pH and corrosion inhibitors on the tribocorrosion of titanium in artificial saliva

A. C. Vieira, +3 more
- 20 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the fretting-corrosion behavior of titanium grade 2 in contact with artificial saliva was investigated under fretting test conditions, and three different inhibitors were added to investigate cathodic and anodic reactions on the electrochemical response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corrosion behaviour of titanium in the presence of Streptococcus mutans

Júlio C.M. Souza, +7 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: The presence of bacterial colonies, such as S. mutans, negatively affected the corrosion resistance of the titanium and caused the formation of a compact passive film on titanium in artificial saliva or in the presence of a 2 days old S. Mutans biofilm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microstructure and mechanical properties of nanocomposite (Ti,Si,Al)N coatings

Sandra Carvalho, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of two phases whose structure is similar to TiN was observed to form in the presence of reactive magnetron sputtering, which can be associated with the segregation of the SiN phase, though the formation of an amorphous AlN phase cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do oral biofilms influence the wear and corrosion behavior of titanium

Júlio C.M. Souza, +5 more
- 09 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: The properties of the biofilms were similar to those of the lubricant agents used to decrease the wear rate of materials, however, the pH-lowering promoted by microbial species, can lead to corrosion of Ti-based oral rehabilitation systems.
