TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the critical factors influencing the pitting corrosion of metals, including alloy composition, environment, potential, and temperature, and a summary is given of studies that have focused on various stages of the pit process, including breakdown of the passive film, metastable pitting and pit growth.
Abstract: Pitting corrosion is localized accelerated dissolution of metal that occurs as a result of a breakdown of the otherwise protective passive film on the metal surface. This paper provides an overview of the critical factors influencing the pitting corrosion of metals. The phenomenology of pitting corrosion is discussed, including the effects of alloy composition, environment, potential, and temperature. A summary is then given of studies that have focused on various stages of the pitting process, including breakdown of the passive film, metastable pitting, and pit growth.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review focuses on electrochemical corrosion phenomena in alloys used for orthopaedic implants, evidenced by particulate corrosion and wear products in tissue surrounding the implant, which may ultimately result in a cascade of events leading to periprosthetic bone loss.
Abstract: In situ degradation of metal-alloy implants is undesirable for two reasons: the degradation process may decrease the structural integrity of the implant, and the release of degradation products may elicit an adverse biological reaction in the host Degradation may result from electrochemical dissolution phenomena, wear, or a synergistic combination of the two Electrochemical processes may include generalized corrosion, uniformly affecting the entire surface of the implant, and localized corrosion, affecting either regions of the device that are shielded from the tissue fluids (crevice corrosion) or seemingly random sites on the surface (pitting corrosion) Electrochemical and mechanical processes (for example, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, and fretting corrosion) may interact, causing premature structural failure and accelerated release of metal particles and ions The clinical importance of degradation of metal implants is evidenced by particulate corrosion and wear products in tissue surrounding the implant, which may ultimately result in a cascade of events leading to periprosthetic bone loss Furthermore, many authors have reported increased concentrations of local and systemic trace metal in association with metal implants1,4,5,9-11,14,18,25,26,28,29,47,49-55,58,71,72,75-77,87,90,108-110 There also is a low but finite prevalence of corrosion-related fracture of the implant This review focuses on electrochemical corrosion phenomena in alloys used for orthopaedic implants A summary of basic electrochemistry is followed by a discussion of retrieval studies of the response of the implant to the host environment and the response of local tissue to implant corrosion products The systemic implications of the release of metal particles also are presented Finally, future directions in biomaterials research and development …

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the corrosion mechanisms of stainless steel and provided a platform for selecting the suitable type of steel for any application with high corrosion resistance, such as pitting and crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, and attack by high-temperature gases.
Abstract: With good pricing, high strength, as well as corrosion resistance, stainless steel is a widely used and popular choice for many applications as a rust resistant material, however many types of corrosion attack stainless steel, such as pitting and crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, general corrosion, and attack by high-temperature gases. This article reviews the corrosion mechanisms of stainless steel to understand the corrosion behavior of stainless steel which is important for the design of any application. Moreover, this article will provide a platform for selecting the suitable type of stainless steel for any application with high corrosion resistance.
