Abstract

This paper describes in details the properties and the microstructure of metallic biomaterials with emphasis on the corrosion of these materials, their testing, prevention and monitoring. Three alloys were tested: 316LVM stainless steel, Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy and Co-Cr-Mo cobalt alloy. In the experimental part, the samples were immersed in a solution of salt and acid and then observed under the SEM and under the light microscope. It was found that all 3 materials are generally resistant to corrosion in solution of acids or salts.
