다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The dental orthodontic wire requires good mechanical properties, such as elastic strength, combined with a high resistance to corrosion. For increasing elastic strength and delaying onset of stress corrosion cracking, drawing methods(one-step and two-step drawing) have been used in this study to extend service life of metal components, However, there is no information on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of drawn wires for orthodontics. To increase elastic strength, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, the electrochemical characteristics of drawn wire have been researched by field emission scanning microscope and potentiodynamic method in 0.9% NaCl solution.
The one-step drawn wire showed the formation of rough surface. The hardness and tensile strength of two-step drawn wire increased. Electrochemical measurements showed that, in the case of two-step drawn wire, the corrosion resistance and pitting potential increased compared with two-step drawn wire due to the drawing induced small surface roughness, such as scratch, whereas passivation and active current density decreased as the reduction in area for drawing increased.
