THE CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF 316L STAINLESS STEEL IN DIFFERENT SIMULATED BODY FLUIDS SOLUTIONS
Abstract
The loss of an organ or part of an organism generates, in addition to loss of function, social and psychological disorders. The modern bio-technologies try to diminish their effects on affected humans. The advancement of modern medicine that uses biomaterials to solve issues related to tissues and organs reconstruction has increased the human life expectancy, rapidly. The most important factors that limit the lifetime of implants are certain corrosion and wear products, which can have negative effects on the human body. In this research work it is evaluated the corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel in two different simulated body fluids: Fusayama Meyer (pH=4.8) and Hank solution (pH=7.36). The corrosion behavior of 316L stainless steel was analyzed by electrochemical methods such as: open circuit potential (OCP), linear polarization resistance (Rp), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The 316L stainless steel shows a higher corrosion resistance in Fusayama Meyer saliva in comparison with Hank solution.
