Ti-based bulk metallic glasses are under consideration for implants due to their high yield strength and biocompatibility. In this work, in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to investigate the corrosion products formed from corrosion of Ti Zr Cu Pd Sn bulk metallic glass in artificial corrosion pits in physiological saline (NaCl). It is found that Pd nanoparticles form in the interior of the pits during electrochemical dissolution. At a low pit growth potential, the change in lattice parameter of the Pd nanoparticles is consistent with the formation of palladium hydride. In addition, a salt layer very close to the dissolving interface is found to contain CuCl, PdCl , ZrOCl ∙8H O, Cu, Cu O, and several unidentified phases. The formation of Pd nanoparticles (16 ± 10 nm at 0.7 V vs Ag/AgCl) containing small amounts of the other alloying elements is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The addition of albumin and/or H O does not significantly influence the nature of the corrosion products. When considering the biological compatibility of the alloy, the biological reactivity of the corrosion products identified should be explored.
钛基块状金属玻璃由于其高屈服强度和生物相容性而被考虑用于植入物。在这项工作中,使用同步加速器 X 射线衍射(XRD)原位研究了在生理盐水中(NaCl)人工腐蚀坑中腐蚀形成的 TiZrCuPdSn 块状金属玻璃的腐蚀产物。研究发现,在电化学溶解过程中,钯纳米颗粒在坑的内部形成。在低的坑生长电位下,钯纳米颗粒的晶格参数变化与钯氢化物的形成一致。此外,发现非常接近溶解界面的盐层含有 CuCl、PdCl、ZrOCl·8H2O、Cu、CuO 和几种未识别的相。通过透射电子显微镜证实了含有少量其他合金元素的钯纳米颗粒(在 0.7 V 相对于 Ag/AgCl 时为 16±10nm)的形成。添加白蛋白和/或 H2O 不会显著影响腐蚀产物的性质。在考虑合金的生物相容性时,应探索所确定的腐蚀产物的生物反应性。
