Biomaterials are materials used to replace parts of living systems. 316 L stainless steel has long been used as a substitute material for bone dislocation victims. This research aims to substitute 316 L stainless steel bone implant material with Cr-Ni coated ST 41 carbon steel which has been immersed with varying time-intensity with Simulated Body Fluid. Material testing uses the method of potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscope. The results of this study are in the form of a comparison of corrosion rate and surface characteristics between 316 L stainless steel and Cr-Ni coated ST 41 Carbon Steel. The immersion time of the material for 12 hours and 366 shows a low corrosion rate with a corrosion rate of 0.0051714 mm year −1 with and 0.001557 mm year −1 for ST41 carbon steel material with Cr-Ni coating, whereas in Stainless Steel 316 L has a corrosion rate value of 0.0029546 mm year −1 and 0.0013166 mm year −1 . Surface characteristics show insignificant differences between ST41 steel with Cr-Ni coating and 316 L stainless steel. The results of the study show that Cr-Ni coated ST41 carbon steel material can substitute 316 L stainless steel as a biomaterial in bone implants because it has a low corrosion rate and different insignificant surface characteristics.
