Key Points

  • This research aims to assess how the composition of titanium alloys and varying glucose concentrations affect their tribocorrosion responses.
  • Alloys tested included Fe-modified titanium and Al-V-containing alloys in simulated body fluids.
  • Various glucose concentrations were used to simulate diabetic conditions.
  • Material loss and electrochemical stability were measured under different environments.
  • Ti-3Fe exhibited the highest material loss across all environments.
  • Al-V-containing alloys showed superior electrochemical stability and wear resistance.
  • Fe-rich titanium alloys were more susceptible to tribocorrosion in glucose-rich 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.
