Electrochemical and biological characterization of Ti-Nb-Zr-Si alloy for orthopedic applications.

ABSTRACT: The performance of current biomedical titanium alloys is limited by inflammatory and severe inflammatory conditions after implantation. In this study, a novel Ti-Nb-Zr-Si (TNZS) alloy was developed and compared with commercially pure titanium, and Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Electrochemical parameters of specimens were monitored during 1 h and 12 h immersion in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) as a normal, PBS/hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as an inflammatory, and PBS/H₂O₂/albumin/lactate as a severe inflammatory media. The results showed an effect of the H₂O₂ in inflammatory condition and the synergistic behavior of H₂O₂, albumin, and lactate in severe inflammatory condition towards decreasing the corrosion resistance o
