Abstract
The objective of this study was to produce corrosion behavior data for each of the commonly used metallic alloys in surgical implants. In addition, by applying the known electrochemical corrosion theory, the study aims to predict the behavior of galvanic couples made of any two of the materials. From this predicted behavior, potentially useful couples that are not expected to show significantly increased corrosion rates were identified.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
