Quantification of Fe-Base Alloy Degradation after Immersion Test

Abstract:

A new FeMnSi metallic alloy is proposed as biodegradable material with applications in medical field. The corrosion behavior in simulated body fluids is evaluated after immersion for 14 days. The metallic biodegradable material surface was analyzed with a SEM (2 and 3D)+EDAX equipment. The effects of the solution on the metallic surface present an area with pitting corrosions, marks around 10 µm in depth, and a different one with new chemical compounds form from biological solution with good stability on the surface. Even if is a new biodegradable material based on iron simmilar results about the surface behavior were obtain by other researchers on different FeMnSi chemical compositions.
