The orthopedic surgery become frequent metallic materials for bone and joint replacement implants Particularly common are titanium alloys, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys and Stainless SteelThese materials are characterized by their high strength, toughness and corrosion resistance making them ideal for long-term, load-bearing applications.
In addition to the chemical composition, the Surface finish and microstructure formation a crucial role in the quality of implants. The Particle size is, for example, an essential factor for the Fatigue strength and thus the Long term stability of implants under load.
Structure of Metals: Importance of Grain Size
The structure of technical metals consists of many individual crystals, which act as grains be designated. grain shape and Particle size can be achieved by special grinding techniques in Micrograph These parameters have a direct influence on the mechanical properties of the material.
