Abstract

TiO2 films including different amounts of Ag obtained by sol-gel method on commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and the corrosion properties of Ag-doped TiO2 films were investigated by potentiodynamic polarisation and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) tests in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) solution. The results were compared with untreated and un-doped samples. Surface characterizations before and after the corrosion tests were performed by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. It was observed that Ag-doping for TiO2 films improved the corrosion resistance when compared with untreated and un-doped TiO2 film coated samples. The highest corrosion resistance was obtained from Ag-doped samples coated with a solution of 0.05 M Ag.
