Improved Tribocorrosion Resistance of a CoCrMo Implant Material by Carburising
Tribocorrosion damage is a cause for the premature failure of hip implants made of cobalt-based alloys.Low-temperature carburising can be a plausible solution towards mitigating the tribocorrosion damage of articulating components.This diffusion treatment introduces a supersaturated carbon solid solution, termed S-phase, which hardens metabo 15-gau
