Abstract
An extremely simple and environmentally friendly water treatment was developed to enhance the general corrosion resistance of biomedical high nitrogen nickel-free stainless steels (HNNFS). After treatment, the corrosion rate of HNNFS could dramatically reduce to 1/20 of the untreated in 37 °C 0.9 wt% NaCl solutions. Then the passive film on HNNFS was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that Cr enrichment and thickness increase of passive film contributed to the improvement of general corrosion resistance of HNNFS.
