Abstract
In the field of healthcare and dentistry, 316L stainless steel is widely used for its corrosion resistance. However, the presence of lactic acid in salivary solutions can affect its surface reactivity. This study employed electrochemical methods to investigate the influence of lactic acid on 316L stainless steel's corrosion resistance in Fusayama Meyer saliva and saliva doped with varying lactic acid concentrations. The results revealed a significant decrease in polarization resistance as the lactic acid concentration increased, despite a shift toward more positive corrosion potentials. Consequently, the study suggests that the lactic acid presence in salivary solutions should be considered when evaluating the corrosion susceptibility of 316L stainless steel devices.
