Abstract. The demand of biomedical implants characterized by more and more advanced performances is expected to grow as well as their service life is expected to increase. Therefore, the necessity to research new material properties and production techniques in producing biomedical implants, characterized by higher durability, is strongly required. Regarding permanent prosthesis, the surface conditions play a key role on the prostheses overall mechanical performance. This work aims, through the application of burnishing process, to combine innovative machining finishing operations coupled with environmentally friendly lubricooling techniques to improve the surface integrity of biomedical devices in order to increase their quality, durability and reliability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
