Surface preparation is potentially important to the corrosion and biomedical properties of NiTi shape memory alloys. The effect of surface preparation on corrosion properties and nickel release of a Ti-56 wt.% Ni alloy has been studied. Surface of the NiTi coupons were prepared by four methods, namely, chemical etching, electropolishing, mechanical polishing and oxidizing, and then examined by corrosion...
