The corrosion resistance of titanium alloy, Ti–6Al–7Nb, was investigated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), open circuit potential (OCP) measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The tests were done in Hank's solution at 37 oC for immersion periods expanded to 169 h. A high corrosion resistance was obtained for Ti–6Al–7Nb alloy in hank's solution due to the stable passive film formed on its surface. The EIS results indicated the presence of a single passive layer immediately after immersion. However, after 24 h of immersion in hank's solution, the EIS exhibited the presence of a bi-layered surface corresponding to an inner layer and an outer layer. Further, the film formed on the alloy after 169 h was confirmed by SEM and EDX analysis as calcium and phosphate may be due to apatite formation.
