Various biomaterials are used in the living body when necessary. These include biomaterials produced from metals and alloys, especially due to their superior mechanical properties. Metal biomaterials are mostly used as implants in the body. In addition to the biocompatibility of metal biomaterials, mechanical, corrosion resistance, etc. properties should also be appropriate. For this, the material surface is covered with various methods. In this study, 316L stainless steel was used and the sample surfaces were coated with Ag and Rh electrolytic film to increase the corrosion resistance of the material. Samples were prepared as coupons by laser cutting from 316L stainless steel material in dimensions of 1.5x10x10 mm. The coated samples outside the reference sample were undercoated with 0.7 µm thick flash gold, and one of these coatings was silver plated and the other was rhodium film coated on the same thickness silver plated. The coated samples were subjected to corrosion test in Ringer's liquid to determine their condition inside the body. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images were taken to determine the morphology of the samples, and in the light of the findings obtained as a result of experimental studies and scientific research, it was determined that the corrosion resistance of the samples increased with the electrolytic coating process.
