A significant progress has been observed in recent years regarding the development of metallic biomaterials intended for use in medical applications such as orthopedic and dental surgery. This paper aims to evaluate the corrosion resistance of Ni-Ti alloys used for surgical implants, analyzing their biocompatibility and the influence of their chemical composition on corrosion types, including pitting and fatigue corrosion. The methodology involved a systematic review of existing literature on the corrosion behaviors of metallic implants, along with experimental evaluations of the corrosion processes in various environments. Results indicate a strong correlation between the corrosion resistance of these alloys and their biocompatibility; alloys with high anode potentials displayed better resistance to corrosion. Additionally, the analysis showed that the corrosion dynamics could vary significantly within different zones of the same implant depending on multiple factors such as load type, implant geometry, and operation technique. The findings highlight the importance of optimizing the chemical and phase compositions of metallic biomaterials to ensure their safety and effectiveness over time in biological environments. Further research is suggested to explore the impact of various surface modifications on the performance of Ni-Ti alloys in medical applications.
