Innovative Solutions from the Field of the Material Science and Medicinein the Interior of Modern Ambulances

Abstract:

Exploitation of ambulances in contaminated conditions causes that they are exposed to damaging the surfaces. Steel components are protected from corrosion by metallic and paint coatings, e.g. selected parts of medical equipment are protected by Ni, Cr, Cu coatings and additionally by hot-dip galvanizing or zinc galvanic. The appearance of corrosion cells has a significant impact on the products sustainability.In the study the results of the research, regarding the application of innovative solutions from the field of the material science and medicine in the interior of modern ambulances are described. The aim of investigations was the proper selection of anticorrosion coatings appropriate to ambulance considering the sterility keeping and the best anticorrosion properties.
