The investigations carried out aimed to highlight the structural modifications occurred in the Ti-based shape memory alloys subject to electrocorrosion in Afnor artificial saliva. The behavior to corrosion was highlighted by fast electrochemical tests, mainly by dynamic potentiometry. From the micro...
