Revolutionizing Corrosion Resistance in Titanium Alloys for Aerospace and Biomedical Applications

Aerospace industry employs Ti-Alloys due to the increase of composite materials to reduce the galvanic couple; also, the high performance of devices requires the employ of Ti-Alloys. As well as automotive industry, where Ti-alloys are one of the best options in demanding zones due to the resistance against corrosion and good mechanical properties. The employ of Ti-alloys for biomedical industry is employing meanly for prosthesis, where the mechanism corrosion is totally different in comparison with the other industries. This futuristic Research Topic proposes the research of Ti-Alloys for aerospace, automotive and biomedical applications. How material science has been development to increase the corrosion resistance of alloys employing different protection methods, depending on the application of alloys.

By leveraging advanced anodizing treatments and cutting-edge electrochemical techniques, such as electrochemical noise analysis, potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectroscopy, this study aims to push the boundaries of current material science.

The research will explore the potential of integrating intelligent protection systems and automatic monitoring technologies for long-term corrosion management. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, this topic envisions a future where titanium alloys exhibit unprecedented resistance to environmental degradation, aligning with global sustainability goals and advancing industry innovation.
