Abstrakt: Many alloys exhibit the shape memory effect, but only the Cu-Al-Zn, Cu-AI-Ni, and Ni-Ti alloys are presentand of commercial importance. The greatest use of these alloys is in biomedicine (filters, orthodontic implants, guide wires for catheters, etc.). Shape-memory alloys may be found in sensors in automobiles, consumer products, and generally in smart materials. The electrochemical behavior of Cu-Al-Zn alloy in phosphate buffer without and in the presence of cysteine was investigated. Electrochemical researchwas performed in a traditional three-electrode system by means of the Tafel extrapolation method. The results showed that the presence of cysteine leads to a decrease in the corrosion rate and the density (values) of the corrosion current, which indicates that the tested inhibitor is efficient. In other words, it provides alloys with protection against corrosion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
