The corrosion behavior of three silver-based alloys, Ag-Sn-Zn, Ag-In, and Ag-Pd-Cu, were investigated by potentiodynamic anodic polarization analysis and the polarization resistance method in 0.1% Na2S and Ringer's solutions. The corrosion activity of the Ag-Sn-Zn alloy was higher in Ringer's solution than in the 0.1% Na2S solution. In contrast, the corrosion rate of the Ag-Pd-Cu alloy was approximately 500 times higher in the 0.1% Na2S solution than in Ringer's solution. The results show that the generally accepted concept that tarnish is merely a surface discoloration due to the deposition of insoluble products is inadequate. The alloy discolors while being severely attacked in the presence of sulfides. For the Ag-In alloy, the corrosion activity in the 0.1% Na2S solution was as high as in Ringer's solution. These silver-based alloys exhibit different electrochemical activities in different solutions. The test solutions for corrosion tests must be carefully chosen for each alloy system through a screening test to replicate the predominant corrosion reaction proceeding in the oral environment.
