Implant materials fail due to unexpected corrosion upon their implantation in the complex physiological environment of the human body, with detrimental implications to patient health and safety. Key to the development of improved implant materials is an in-depth understanding of the link between material microstructure, surface oxide state, and surface reactivity.
