Abstract:

Over the last two decades, many researchers have developed a variety of stainless steel-based medical implant types,taking full advantage of nanostructuring technologies. In this paper the application, fabrication and development of nanostructured stainless steel based materials with new composition for medical implants will be discussed. It is well established that application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) can decrease the grain size of metals and alloys significantly to the nanometer range. Among all the available SPD methods, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is very applicable. Stainless Steel became the raw structural material for the majority of the developed medical implants, and several techniques had to be studied and established in order to fabricate a feasible stainless steel-based neural probe. These nanostructured implants present a superior performance mechanically, biologically and electrically, when compared to the conventional implants. Finally, the effect of alloying elements on the bio-interaction of stainless steel will be explained.

A Review on Surface Treatment of Stainless Steel Orthopedic Implants

It is expected that in future, there will be an immense usage of implantable devices which will cause the number of infections to increase naturally because some patients are unable to autonomously prevent formation of bio film on implant surfaces. The ideal implant should be able to promote osteointegration, deter bacterial adhesion and minimize prosthetic infection. Recent developments in mat...

Alumina nanostructured coating for corrosion protection of 316L stainless steel

Nanostructured alumina thin films were coated on stainless steel by Sol-Gel dip coating method. In order to prevent crack formation, Al2O3 films were kept in a solvent bath immediately after coating to reduce the rate of drying. Effects of calcination temperature and withdrawal speed on structural properties were analyzed using XRD and SEM. Topography and thickness of coat...

A Review on Surface Coatings on 316L Stainless Steel to Improve Biomedical Properties

Stainless steel 316L has widely used as bioimplants in cranial plates, dental implants, bone fracture fixation, prothestic joints. However, low wear resistance, in some cases susceptibility to pitting and crevice corrosion in body environment and release of toxic ions from the surface are the basic disadvantages which this material prone to be. It has still applied as a temporary biomaterial du...
