Cyclic Polarization Cyclic polarization measurements are typically used to characterize met als and alloys that derive

their corrosion resistance from the formation of a t hin passive film. Alloys such as 316LVM and MP35N, often used in implant able medical devices, derive their corrosion resistance from passivity. These alloys can be susceptible to localized corrosion due to breakdown of their p assive films. Cyclic polarization measurements done in accordance with ASTM F21 29* are used at EIC Biomedical to assess corrosion resistance of these and relat ed alloys. Cyclic polarization measurements are also useful for characterizing nob le metal electrodes such as platinum and gold, and in particular for assess ing the likely severity of galvanic corrosion between noble and non-noble m etals in implantable devices. Examples of Cyclic Polarization Curves These measurements are usually made in Ringer s solution at 37oC us ing a 5%CO2/95%N2 gas sparge to control pH. A gas sparge of 5%CO2/6%O2/89%N2 is u sed when investigating the influence of dissolved oxygen gas.

Pengukuran polarisasi siklik biasanya digunakan untuk mengkarakterisasi logam da n paduan yang berasal ketahanan korosi mereka dari pembentukan film tipis pasif. paduan seperti 316LVM dan MP35N, sering digunakan dalam perangkat medis implan, berasal mereka tahan korosi dari pasif. Paduan ini dapat rentan terhadap lokal karena kerusakan film pasif mereka korosi. Siklik polarisasi pengukuran dilakukan sesuai dengan ASTM F2129 * digunakan pada Biomedis EIC untuk menilai k orosi resistensi dari paduan ini dan terkait.
