Analysis of the Surface and Corrosion Resistance of Nitrided and Oxynitrided VT6C Alloys in a Physiological Solution at 36 and 40°С

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

The corrosion behavior of VT6c titanium alloy with nitride and oxynitride coatings in a 0.9 % NaCl solution is studied at temperatures of 36 and 40 °C. It is shown that, as temperature increases, the corrosion resistance of the alloy becomes higher for both types of coatings.
