  • Title: Localized corrosion of 316L stainless steel with SiO2-CaO films obtained by means of sol-gel treatment.
    Author: Vallet-Regí M, Izquierdo-Barba I, Gil FJ.
    Journal: J Biomed Mater Res A; 2003 Nov 01; 67(2):674-8. PubMed ID: 14566812.
    Abstract:
    Sol-gel films on austenitic stainless steel (AISI 316L) polished wafer were prepared from sono-sols obtained from tetraethylorthosilane and hydrated calcium nitrate. However, pitting was observed in different places on the stainless steel surfaces. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by the polarization resistance in simulated body fluid environment at 37 degrees C. The critical current density, the passive current density, the corrosion potential, and the critical pitting potential were studied. The austenitic stainless steel 316L treated presents important electrochemical corrosion and consequently its application as endosseous implants is not possible.
