[ 1 ] - Heat Treatment Of Cobalt-Base Alloy Surgical Implants With Hydroxyapatite-Bioglass For Surface Bioactivation

ASTM F-75 Cobalt-base alloy castings are widely used for manufacturing orthopedic implants. This alloy needs both homogenization and solutionizing heat treatment after casting, as well as bioactivation of the surface to increase the ability of tissue bonding. In this study, ASTM F-75 Cobalt-base substrate was heat treated at 1220°C for 1 hour in contact with Hydroxyapatite-Bioglass powder in or...

[ 2 ] - Effect of Mold Preheating on the Microstructure of the Investment Cast Astm F-75 Implant Alloy

The ASTM F-75 (Co-28%Cr-6%Mo) is widely used as a biocompatible alloy in medicinefor manufacturing implants. In this study, effect of mold preheating on the as-cast microstructure of thealloy was investigated using the solid investment casting process. Several mold preheating temperaturesof 550, 700, 850 and 1000 °C were selected at the same melt superheat. The samples were characterizedby opti...
