The effect of nitrogen-ion implantation on the electrochemical behaviour of 316L stainless steel in a simulated physiological solution (HBSS-Hank's Balanced Salt Solution) was studied by open-circuit potential versus time and cyclic polarization techniques, with the aim of characterizing the surfaces and choosing the best nitrogen-ion fluence. Three fluences (10 15, 10 16 and 10 17 ions/cm 2) were used. The 10 16 ions/cm 2 N + fluence improves the corrosion resistance of the 316L stainless steel.
