Abstract

In this research, the electrochemical study of coatings obtained by means of cerium-based chemical conversion treatments (CCT) on the alloy Ti6Al4V previously modified through a thermal annealing treatment (TT) is presented. These coatings were assessed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the phases present on the surface, while both morphology and substrate coating were performed by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Additionally, by the use of techniques like Polarization Curves (PC) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), the electrochemical characterization was performed using a phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS) as electrolyte.
