Abstract: As-produced and heat-treated TiAlV samples were prepared by selective laser melting and compared to wrought samples of identical chemical composition. Microstructural, corrosion, and spectroscopic studies of additively manufactured samples in artificial saliva at 37 °C, with NaF and at pH 2.3 were as a novelty combined with metal ion release during 42 days immersion. In artificial saliva higher amount of ions was released on SLM specimen when compared to wrought alloy. The total amount of ions released from SLM specimen in AS containing NaF was 10-times higher than in AS, while in AS with lactic acid it was 100-times higher.

Abstract: The impact of the microstructural properties of a Ti6Al4V alloy on its electrochemical properties, as well as the effect of the α- and β-phases present within it, is still unclear. With the introduction of new, emerging technologies, such as selective laser melting and post heat treatments, the effect of the microstructure on an alloy's corrosion properties has become increasingly interesting from a scientific perspective. When these alloys are produced through different methods, despite an identical chemical composition they have diverse microstructures, and consequently display varying resistance to corrosion. In the present research study, Ti–6Al–4V alloy specimens produced by three different processes, leading to the formation of three different microstructures were investigated: heat treated specimen fabricated by selective laser melting, wrought and cast specimens. The impact of the microstructure of these alloys when immersed in artificial saliva was studied through the use of various electrochemical techniques, by microscopical examinations, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. Corrosion properties were investigated by the measurement of open circuit potential, linear polarization, and potentiodynamic curve measurements followed by microscopical examinations, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry examination was conducted to reveal spatial distribution of alloying species on oxide film. It was found that the difference between specimens containing an α+β microstructure was small and not dependent on the aspect ratio of the β-phase, alloy grain size, and vanadium partitioning coefficient, but rather on the size, shape, and content of this phase.

Abstract: Doktorska raziskava je temeljila na razvoju frit za emajliranje aluminijevih zlitin, saj je uporaba zlitin zaradi njihove nizke cene, nizke gostote in odlične trdnosti vedno večja. Tako se aluminijeve zlitine uporabljajo v različnih panogah, vendar je njihova uporaba omejena zaradi njihove visoke kemijske aktivnosti in potencialno slabe korozijske odpornosti v kislih, alkalnih in kloridnih raztopinah. Študija je zajemala raziskave različnih surovin ter oksidne sestave frit. Da smo dobili homogen granulat, smo za posamezno frito določili optimalne pogoje časa in temperaturo taljenja. S talilnim mikroskopom smo opazovali površino in določili štiri talilne točke: sintranja, zmehčanja, polkrogle in stekanja. Razteznostni koeficient frite smo določili z dilatometrom, ter ga primerjali z razteznostnim koeficientom posamezne aluminijeve zlitine. Pred emajliranjem smo vzorce zlitin očistili in nekatere tudi zbrusili, da bi ugotovili vpliv predhodne obdelave zlitine na vezavo emajla. Pripravljenih je bilo več frit, med katerimi je bilo sedem frit, s katerimi smo emajlirali tri vrste aluminijevih zlitin in sicer AA2024, AA6082 in AA7075. Za posamezno frito smo določili optimalne pogoje časa in temperaturo žganja. Korozijska odpornost emajliranih vzorcev je bila preizkušena v 5-odstotni raztopini NaCl pri sobni temperaturi z uporabo meritev elektrokemijske impedančne spektroskopije in meritev krivulj ciklične polarizacije. Korozijska odpornost emajliranih vzorcev se je v primerjavi z neemajliranimi aluminijevimi zlitinami povečala. Sestava, površinska in globinska homogenost dveh najučinkovitejših emajliranih vzorcev sta bila potrjena z uporabo FE-SEM posnetkov, jedkanja z ionskim izvorom klastrov argona in z kvantitativno analizo z uporabo rentgenske fotoelektronske spektroskopije. Dodatno je bila za opis 3D sestave frit uporabljena tehnika masne spektrometrije sekundarnih ionov z detektorjem na čas preleta in jedkanjem z uporabo ionskega izvora O2+. Globino nastalega kraterja pri globinskem profiliranju smo analizirali z uporabo 3D profilometra.
