Abstract
This study is aimed at evaluation of corrosion resistance of wires made of stainless steel X10CrNi18-8 used in cardiologic treatment. Influence of modification of wire surface, involving sterilisation process with ethylene oxide (EO) on their corrosion properties, was analyzed. The tests were performed in artificial blood plasma simulating human blood environment. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was used in order to evaluate phenomena taking place on the surface of the tested steel. Offering specific variants of surface modification with application of electrochemical and chemical methods is of a long-range importance and it contributes to elaboration of technological conditions featuring definite parameters of creation of oxider layers resistant to sterilising agent effect, on medical products made of steel 18-8 intended to come into contact with blood.
