Abstract  Corrosion behaviour of copper in simulated uterine fluid was investigated by electrochemical and chemical means. Both cathodic reduction of surface film and chemical analysis of solution after corrosion testing proved that the percentage of ionic copper in the corrosion products varied with the pH level of the fluid. About one-third of the total amount of the corroded copper was soluble at pH 7. The share of the soluble products increassed significantly with decreasing pH. In order to examine the effect of oxygen dissolved in the test fluid, the instantaneous corrosion rates under different oxygen pressures were determined using polarization resistance method. A maximum of corrosion rate was observed at a certain oxygen pressure. They were 0.12 atm for pH 7 and 0.06 atm for pH 8, respectively. Based on the variation of the natural corrosion potential of copper with environmentlal pH, the corrosion process was interpreted using E-pH diagram for Cu-Cl-H2O system.
