Shape memory alloys are of great commercial importance from biomedical applications to smart materials. The electrochemical behavior of Cu-Al-Zn alloy in phosphate buffer without and in the presence of amino acid was investigated. Electrochemical researches were performed in a traditional three-electrode system by means of the Tafel extrapolation m...

Aluminium and its alloys have excellent corrosion resistance. When aluminium is exposed to the atmosphere, a thin invisible oxide Al2O3 is formed, protecting the metal from further oxidation. Compared to pure metals, alloys can have higher corrosion resistance depending on the content of certain alloying elements. Various substances such as organic...
