- Abstract
An investigation about the corrosion resistance of Ni-Al-Fe intermetallic alloys in simulated human body fluid environments has been carried out using electrochemical techniques. Tested alloys included 57 (wt%) Ni-(20 to 30) Al-(12 to 23) Fe using the Hank's solution because the high corrosion resistance provided by protective Al2O3 external layer. For comparison, AISI 316L type stainless steel has also been used. Electrochemical techniques included potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and electrochemical noise measurements. The different techniques have shown that these alloys showed a similar or higher corrosion resistance than conventional AISI 316L type stainless steel, and this corrosion resistance decreased as the Al content in the alloy increased. The alloys were susceptible to pitting type of corrosion on the interdendritic Ni-rich phases.
