EN Binary Ti100-x–Cux (x = 1.6 and 3.0 wt.%) alloys were produced by the application of mechanical alloying and powder metallurgy processes. The influence of the copper concentration in titanium on the microstructure and properties of bulk alloys was investigated. The synthesized materials were characterized by an X-ray diffraction technique, scanning electron microscopy, and chemical composition determination. The electrochemical and corrosion properties were also investigated. Cold compaction and sintering reduced the content of α-Ti content in Ti98.4–Cu1.6 and Ti97–Cu3 alloys to 92.4% and 83.7%, respectively. Open Circuit Potential measurements showed a positive shift after the addition of copper, suggesting a potential deterioration in the corrosion resistance of the Ti–Cu alloys compared to pure Ti. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy analysis revealed significant improvement in electrical conductivity after the addition of copper. Corrosion testing results demonstrated compromised corrosion resistance of Ti–Cu alloys compared to pure Ti. In summary, the comprehensive investigation of Ti100-x–Cux alloys provides valuable insights for potential applications in biosensing.
