By means of potentiodynamic techniques the electrochemical behaviour of a ferromagnetic alloy Pd-Co and three types of caps (AISI 316 stainless steel, Pd, Ti) for permanent Sm-Co magnets has been investigated in artificial saliva and in Ringer's solution. In addition short-circuit measurements were performed on several couples Pd-Co/AISI 316, Ti, Pd caps. From our findings a good corrosion resistance of all the materials is evidenced in artificial saliva. In Ringer's solution, which is more aggressive, Pd-Co shows no tendency to passivity.
