Effects of recasting on the amount of corrosion products released from two Ni-Cr base metal alloys.
The corrosion products released from two recast Ni-Cr base metal alloys Wirolloy and Wiron 99 were investigated. Cast samples were placed in Meyer's modified Fusayama solution for 2 months and in 0.1M Lactic acid 0.1M NaCl solution for 7 days. The release of Ni, Cr and Mo ions from both alloys was measured by using a flame model Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. A Scanning Electron Microscope was used to evaluate the surface morphology of the samples before and after corrosion tests. Release of Ni and Cr from Wirolloy samples immersed in 0.1M Lactic acid 0.1M NaCl solution were much higher than those of Wiron 99. The number of recastings was found to have negligible effect on surface texture and on the amount of corrosion products released.
