The Effect of the Moroccan Salvadora Persica Extract on the Corrosion Behavior of the Ni-Cr Non-precious Dental Alloy in Artificial Saliva by Mouflih, K.

“…Data extracted from the obtained electrochemical corrosion tests demonstrated that the resistance to corrosion of Ni-Cr alloy was improved in presence of Miswak extract at various concentrations, due to the protective action created by the adsorption of Miswak extract on the Ni-Cr alloy surface; the concentration of 1000 ppm presents a corrosion inhibition efficiency of 87%. In presence of the Miswak extract, the SEM-EDS and XRD studies confirm the formation of a film on Ni-Cr dental alloy surface and revealed a reduction in the relative dominance of Ni and Cr on the alloy surface. …”
