A fracture mechanics study of fatigue in a cobalt-base orthopaedic alloy

A fracture mechanics approach was used to investigate the fatigue behavior of a large grained cobalt-base F-75 orthopaedic alloy. Fatigue tests were conducted in air for most of the specimens. The effect of solution heat treatment of the as-cast alloy was investigated in detail; results show that so...
