Corrosion behavior of metallic bio-implant alloys
The most common metallic biomaterials are 316L, Co-28Cr-6Mo, and Ti-6Al-4V alloys used as prostheses and fixation devices. These materials are biocompatible and have high corrosion resistance. However, metallic biomaterials are not completely inert in the body. The presence of dissolved oxygen, chlo...
