Crevice or pitting corrosion of surgical implant metals is generally associated with the presence and activity of the chloride ion.' Because of the ubiquitous nature of the chloride ion in vivo, corrosion testing of materials for implantation is generally performed in physiologic saline solution^.^-

Abstract
Fretting corrosion of stainlessβsteel round hole plates and spherical head screws was studied using a simulator that produced a rocking motion of the heads in the plate holes. Experiments were run for 7 days, with the simulator producing 1 oscillation/s for 16 h/day. Fretting corrosion was studied in 0.9% NaCl and in a 10% solution of fetal calf serum in saline. The results showed a tenfold decrease in fretting corrosion when the serum was added to the saline. Measurements of the weight of the two screws and twoβhole plate showed those in saline lost 2.9 mg as compared to 0.3 for those in 10% serum. The concentration of nickel in the saline solutions was 12.4 ΞΌg/mL compared with 0.85 in serum. Visual examination of the solutions and implants revealed that those in saline had a significant amount of corrosion products while those tested in 10% serum were bright and shiny. Recordings of electrical potentials demonstrated that the addition of serum to saline significantly reduced the change in potential from rest to fretting condition.

Two models were used to study fretting corrosion of surgical alloys. In the first, the amount of load and motion between plates and screws was controlled, and corrosion rates of stainless steel and MP35N were determined by measurements of component weight loss and metal ion concentration in the test
