[Method of electrochemical studies on the effect of corrosive media on the corrosion resistance of medical instruments].

Considerations are given to some methodical problems, and corrosion performance of stainless steels 30 X 13 and 03X11H10 M2T2 used for production of medical instruments is studied by using the method of anode polarization curves. The treatment in hydrogen peroxide is shown to exert a distinct passivating effect on surfaces of the steels under study. Among the bioactive media the plasma substituting agent gelatinol is the most aggressive. When studying the corrosion resistance of metals by potentiostatic methods the physiological solution imitating the blood is proposed to be used as an operating medium.
