This paper presents the results of oxidation and corrosion tests carried out on titanium alloy Ti13Nb13Zr. The oxide film was prepared by electrochemical environment 2M H3PO4 for 30 min and 1 h, at a constant voltage 40V. The tests of corrosion resistance were performed by potentiostatic method in Ringer's solution at different pH values: 7, 5 and 3. The change in an appearance of surface and the increase in corrosion resistance even in an acidic environment is an evidence that the electrochemical treatment of the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy results in formation of dense, compact and likely amorphous oxide layer.
