Abstract excerpt
Titanium alloys are well known for their superior mechanical properties as well as for their good biocompatibility, making them desirable as surgical implant materials. However, these alloys have been proven to behave poorly in friction since wear particles were often detected in tissues and organs associated with titanium implants. In this paper, three surface treatments were investigated in order to improve the...
