Abstract
In the present research work the corrosion resistance of a Co-Cr-Mo orthopaedic alloy (ASTM-F75) in albumin containing electrolytes at different pH conditions (3.0, 7.4 and 9.0) is evaluated. For that purpose, measurement of open-circuit potentials, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used. The detrimental action of the protein has been observed for pH values higher than its isoelectric point and the ratio between Cr and Co ions in solution is both electrolyte composition and pH dependent.
