Effect of pretreatment process on thermal oxidation of biomedical grade cobalt based alloy

Wear on Co-Cr-Mo biomedical implants is still a major issue especially for applications in articulation joints like in total ankle, knee and hip arthroplasty. Generation of excessive wear particles can coagulate in body tissues which later cause inflammation, bone loss and necrosis. Modification of...
