| Session 11A: Corrosion I | ||||
| Location: Governors Hall II, III & IV (Radisson Riverfront Hotel) | ||||
| (Please check final room assignments on-site). | ||||
| Session Description: Tissues in the human body contain water, dissolved oxygen, proteins and various ions, such as chloride and hydroxide, and they present an aggressive environment to metals or alloys used for implantation. Thus, every base-metal or alloy implanted in the body will corrode - the only question is to what extent? Corrosion will release active ions into the physical environment, in addition to deterioration of dimensional parameters of the corroding body. Thus, corrosion and biocompatibility of a medical device is a key aspect of its safety and long-term efficacy. Scope and limitations of corrosion test techniques and examples of how these techniques have been used to assess corrosion behavior will be presented in these sessions. | ||||
