Abstract
316L stainless steel has been widely used for orthopedic devices. Inflammatory response and direct contact with abundant proteins after implantation lead to corrosion issues of biomedical stainless steels. The effect of combination of H2O2 and albumin on the corrosion of 316L stainless steel has been investigated for the first time in simulated body fluids at 37
