Abstract
Corrosion behavior of Nitinol (nickel titanium) alloy has been examined in physiological Ringer's solution by means of electrochemical techniques (open-circuit potential measurement, potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarizations) and capacitance measurements. The results show that the passive film is stable at open-circuit condition, but many of anodic current transients are observed at potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarizations. The thickness of passive film decreased because of the occurrence of dissolution.Entities:
