The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of proteins and protein charge on the corrosion of stainless steel. As Zwitter ions, proteins have a positive charge in solutions acidic to their isoelectric point (PI) and a negative charge in solutions basic to the pi. Fretting corrosion ra

Abstract
The corrosion of the pure metals aluminium, cobalt, copper, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and titanium and of a cobaltβchromium molybdenum casting alloy has been studied in buffered saline with and without the presence of the proteins serum albumin and fibrinogen. The corrosion of aluminium and titanium was unaffected by the protein. The corrosion rates of chromium and nickel showed a slight increase, while cobalt and copper dissolved to a very much greater extent in the presence of protein. However, with molybdenum the corrosion was inhibited by protein.
