[Corrosion and haemocompatibility of 316L stainless steel with electroplated Rh film].
In this study, surface modification by electroplating Rh on 316L stainless steel was carried out in order to improve the corrosion resistance and blood compatibility of implants. XPS was used to characterize the Rh film. The corrosion behavior of 316L stainless steel with electroplated Rh and non-treated was studied in Tyrode's biological solution. Additionally, the haemocompatibility of 316L stainless steel with electroplated Rh was evaluated by preliminary hemolysis test. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel with electroplated Rh was improved, and hemolysis decreased, which indicated that electroplating Rh can improve the blood compatibility of 316L stainless steel.
