Tribocorrosion response of Fe-modified titanium alloys in simulated body fluids with varying glucose concentrations

/N·m) in normal HBSS, while Ti-3Fe consistently exhibited the highest material loss across all environments. The results show that alloy composition and glucose concentration in physiological media significantly influence tribocorrosion behavior, with Al-V-containing alloys demonstrating superior electrochemical stability and wear resistance, while Fe-rich titanium alloys exhibit greater susceptibility, particularly under diabetic conditions.

Abstract

/N·m) in normal HBSS, while Ti-3Fe consistently exhibited the highest material loss across all environments. The results show that alloy composition and glucose concentration in physiological media significantly influence tribocorrosion behavior, with Al-V-containing alloys demonstrating superior electrochemical stability and wear resistance, while Fe-rich titanium alloys exhibit greater susceptibility, particularly under diabetic conditions.
