| Abstract: | The corrosion behaviors of SUS316L stainless steel, Co Cr alloy and Ti 6Al 4V alloy in Ringer's, PBS(-) and Hank's solutions have been investigated. The results indicate that the corrosion of Ringer's solution is the strongest, then followed by PBS(-) and Hank's solution. The presence of HPO 2- 4, H 2PO - 4, SO 2- 4 and glucose in the PBS(-)and Hank's solution probably reduces the corrosion inhibitor and corrosion current. The decrease of the solution's pH significantly increases the corrosion rate and susceptibility to localized corrosion of SUS316L SS and Co Cr alloy. However, Ti 6Al 4V alloy exhibits an exceptional stability and has only a slight increase of corrosion rate with decreasing pH. |
