Abstract:Ti-Hf binary alloys contained 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (mass fraction)Hf were manufactured in the vacuum furnace system. And then, specimens were homogenized for 24 h at 1 000 ℃ in argon atmosphere. The formation of oxide nanotubes was conducted by anodic oxidation on the Ti-Hf alloy in 1 mol/L H3PO4 electrolytes containing small amounts of NaF at room temperature. The hydroxyapatite (HA) coating made of tooth ash prepared by electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) method. The corrosion behaviors of the specimens were examined through potentiodynamic test in 0.9% NaCl solution by potentiostat. The microstructures of the alloys were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD). It was observed that the lamellar structure translated to needle-like structure with Hf contents. Nanotube formed and HA coated Ti-xHf alloys had a good corrosion resistance.
Key words: Ti-Hf alloy; nanotube; hydroxyapatite; EB-PVD; corrosion resistance
