Enhancing General Corrosion Resistance of Biomedical High Nitrogen Nickel-Free Stainless Steel by Nitric Acid Passivation

  • Published:
Acta Metallurgica Sinica (English Letters) Aims and scope

Abstract

A systematic study of nitric acid passivation was investigated to enhance the general corrosion resistance of biomedical high-nitrogen nickel-free stainless steels (HNSs). After passivation, the corrosion rate of HNS could dramatically reduce to 1/20 of the untreated in 37 °C 0.9 wt% NaCl solutions. Then, the passive film on HNS was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that chromium enrichment in the passive film and nitrogen enrichment in the film/metal interface contributed to the improvement in general corrosion resistance of HNS.
