An Experimental Study on the Fretting Corrosion Behaviours of Three Material Pairs at Modular Interfaces for Hip Joint Implants

The fretting corrosion behaviours of Al2O3 ceramic/Ti6Al4V alloy, 316 L stainless/Ti6Al4V alloy, and CoCrMo alloy/Ti6Al4V alloy pairs were studied in an in-house developed fretting-corrosion tester.The fretting behaviours were characterized by the Ft-D-N and Ft/Fn curves.The morphology of the worn surface was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spe
