It has been revealed that the thermal annealing treatment temperature favors the cathodic reactions and reduce the protective properties of passive film. The heat treatment causes the enrichment of β phase in vanadium. The lowest corrosion resistance in the artificial saliva revealed the Ti-6Al-4V alloy heated for 2 hours at 950°C. Heterogeneous distribution of vanadium within the β phase decreases the corrosion resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V.}, type={Article}, title={Effect of Thermal Treatment of Biomedical Ti-6Al-4V Alloy on Corrosion Resistance in Simulated Physiological Solutions}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/114501/PDF/AMM-2020-1-04-Kawalec.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.131094}, keywords={titanium alloys, corrosion, heat treatment, microstructure}, }
