Micro- and Nano-scale Tribo-Corrosion of Cast CoCrMo
Previous studies have established that some of the wear damage seen on cast CoCrMo joint surface is caused by entrained third-body hard particles. In this study, wet-cell micro-indentation and nano-scratch tests have been carried out with the direct aim of simulating wear damage induced by single abrasive particles entrained between the surfaces of cast CoCrMo hip implants. In situ electrochemi...
متن کاملCorrosion Behavior of Solution- Annealed CoCrMo Medical Implant Alloys
Corrosion behavior of solution annealed high-carbon and low-carbon CoCrMo wrought alloy, commonly used in medical joint implants, was investigated. The surface passivation properties remained similar with and without the various solution anneal conditions, while the rate of corrosion was lower for solution annealed high-carbon CoCrMo. Corrosion was found to target phase boundaries and certain g...
متن کاملIntergranular pitting corrosion of CoCrMo biomedical implant alloy.
CoCrMo samples of varying microstructure and carbon content were electrochemically corroded in vitro and examined by scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction techniques. The rate of corrosion was minimized (80% reduction from icorr = 1396 nA/cm(2) to icorr = 276 nA/cm(2) ) in high-carbon CoCrMo alloys which displayed a coarser grain structure and partially dissolved sec...
متن کاملTribocorrosion of Pulsed Plasma-Nitrided CoCrMo Implant Alloy
In the present study, a forged CoCrMo (ISO 5832-12) has been subjected to pulsed plasma treatment in a N2/H2 atmosphere at low temperatures (below 500 C). This treatment resulted in the formation of a layer composed by dispersed chromium nitride particles in a N-enriched metal matrix. The materials were tested for corrosion and tribocorrosion performance in 0.9 wt% NaCl at room temperature unde...
متن کاملCoCrMo metal-on-metal hip replacements.
After the rapid growth in the use of CoCrMo metal-on-metal hip replacements since the second generation was introduced circa 1990, metal-on-metal hip replacements have experienced a sharp decline in the last two years due to biocompatibility issues related to wear and corrosion products. Despite some excellent clinical results, the release of wear and corrosion debris and the adverse response o...
