  The corrosion behaviors of two materials 316L Stainless Steel and 316LN Stainless Steel have been investigated for use as biomaterials. These samples were electrophoretically coated with Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, and dip coated with polyvinyl alcohol. Time, current, concentration and voltage were the variables during electrophoresis. Dip coating was done for the same periods of time as was done during electrophoresis. Corrosion resistance properties were measured in Ringer’s solution by Gamry Potentiostat. The ICORR and ECORR values were estimated using Gamry Echem Software and Tafel’s extrapolation method. Coated samples were immersed in SBF solution for different periods of time, viz., 1 second, 24hours, 72hours and 1week and then further ICORR and ECORR values were estimated in Ringer’s solution. For coated samples Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy were .. Read More»
