Nanocrystalline layer on the bearing surfaces of artificial hip implants induced by biotribocorrosion processes
Orthopedic prostheses are lubricated by a pseudosynovial fluid that contains proteins. Under regular movements, bearing surfaces would suffer wear and corrosion. More importantly, their interaction controls the material degradation process. Nanocrystalline layer was found on the surface of CoCrMo al...
