Corrosion resistance of NiTi alloy
A new study focues on the corrosion resistance of a superelastic NiTi alloy coated with graphene–based coatings. During the study, the mechanical responses under superelastic loading cycles and the corrosion protection capacity of two graphene–based coatings applied to a NiTi alloy were evaluated. Graphene oxide (GO) and a composite of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) incorporated in a block copolymer of styrene–ethylene–butylene–styrene (SEBS) were deposited on the substrate via dip–coating. Corrosion resistance The corrosion behavior was…
