Abstract

Effect of N-ion implantation on the anodic polarization behavior of surgery medical materials, such as SUS316L stainless steel, Co-Cr alloy and Ti6Al4V alloy, has been investigated with electrochemical technology in artificial body fluid Hank's solution. With the tests of corrosion potential and anodic polarization curves, it can be seen that the anti-corrosion behavior is developed after implantion. XRD and AES profiles have shown that the metal nitride coated on the matrix after N-ion implantation, which isolates the matrix from environmental solution. The metal nitride film with high electrochemical capability plays an important role in inhibiting corrosion of the specimens.
